Funding Information:
Acknowledgments The preparation of this chapter was supported by grants KL 1057/9–1 to 9–3 and LE 645/11–1 to 11–3 from the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the Priority Program “Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and Evaluating Educational Processes” (SPP 1293). The chapter is based on papers by Fleischer et al. ( 2012, 2013), Klieme and Leutner (2006), Koeppen etal. ( 2008), and Leutner et al. ( 2013).

Funding Information:
The Priority Program has had significant influence, not only in terms of scientific publications (a complete list of publications is provided at http://kompetenzmod-elle.dipf.de/en/publications/km_literatur_e.html), but also in terms of stimulating additional, more-applied large-scale research programs funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). One example of these latter is the Research Program KoKoHs: “Modeling and Measuring Competencies in Higher Education” (Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia et al. 2014, 2015, 2016). Another example is the Research Program ASCOT: “Technology-based Assessment of Skills and Competencies in Vocational Education and Training” (BMBF 2012).
