TL;DR
The peer-reviewed literature provides no evidence that current measurement tools can assess the competencies independently of one another, and the authors recommend using the Competencies to guide and coordinate specific evaluation efforts, rather than attempting to develop instruments to measure the competency directly.
Abstract
The peer-reviewed literature provides no evidence that current measurement tools can assess the competencies independently of one another. Because further efforts are unlikely to be successful, the authors recommend using the competencies to guide and coordinate specific evaluation efforts, rather than attempting to develop instruments to measure the competencies directly.
