From the point of view of modern sociologists, competence is a structure that is divided into four stages necessary for the full existence of a person in our world. This includes the ability to learn something new, to do something based on the knowledge gained, to act in a group. The last stage is to be able to act or live independently of other people and circumstances, that is, in solitude. Every person should have such social skills, because they allow you to lead a certain lifestyle, work and enjoy it.
As mentioned above, competence can have a completely different scope and focus. A person who knows archeology can become an indispensable worker in the excavation of ancient artifacts or entire cities. However, he may not understand anything in pedagogy, and, despite the fact that he is a professional and knowledgeable archaeologist, he simply will not be able to transfer his knowledge to others, because he is absolutely incompetent in matters of teaching. Therefore, we can say thatcompetence is a certain trait that may or may not have limits.
There is also such a thing as "social competence of the individual", or its ability to fully exist in society. The foundations of this type of competence vary greatly depending on the state in which this or that subject lives, on the people who surround him, and on his life position. In general, personality has five main types of competence. The first one is political. It is not necessary to understand politics and follow all the news. This is an opportunity to work in a group, participate in collective decision-making, think about the welfare of others, and not just about yourself. The second competency is public speaking and good writing.
Third is to maintain cultural balance. This is expressed in the manifestation of tolerance, correctness in relation to other people, their opinions and history, and so on. Number four is competence in knowing everything new that this world has in store for us. Well, the last degree of a socially competent person is self-development, to which he must certainly strive.
Competence and competence have a different meaning for each person. Competence is most often manifested in personal characteristics, in private life. Competence is a concept that is perceived in a work context and has a professional basis. But the most important thing is the comparison of these two concepts. In this case, anyone canshow both your talents given by nature and the skills acquired in the process of knowing the world.
Often, professional or work competence intersects with life experience, and if one or another person is competent in it, then solving any problem becomes simple and accessible. The one who knows how to learn and develop, first of all, is competent in life, therefore, it will not be as difficult for him to learn any science as it might seem at first glance. So, it turns out that competence is a life science, which can be learned by gaining experience.
