Three Domains of Competence: Supporting Learning

Three Domains of Competence (NRC, 2012) Cognitive Responsibility Decision-making Analysis Negotiation Self-Presentation Adaptive Learning Critical Thinking Leadership Conflict Resolution Reasoning/argumentation Executive Function Collaboration Interpersonal Problem Solving Communication Assertive Communication Information and communications technology literacy Social Influences With Others Active Learning Interpretation Self-Direction Cooperation Innovation Responsibility Grit To deconstruct the definition of deeper learning further, the researchers came up with what they call three domains of competence: cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal. Cognitive refers to reasoning and problem solving; intrapersonal refers to self-management, self-directedness, and conscientiousness; and interpersonal refers to expressing ideas and communicating and working with others. Creativity Flexibility Teamwork Self-Evaluation Integrity Adaptability Intrapersonal Metacognition Perseverance Self-monitoring Imitative Productivity Citizenship Appreciation for Diversity Career Orientation Continuous Learning
