Abstract
The introduction of the notion of competence in vocational education and training (VET) curriculum design and training practices was one of the key factors in the reform of initial VET in Lithuania and Estonia that enabled transformation of the post-Soviet initial VET systems towards EU and market-oriented models of VET. Therefore, this chapter aims to explore and compare the introduction and implementation of competence-based approaches in initial VET and higher education, as well as in the reforms of the national systems of qualifications in Lithuania and Estonia. This comparison comprises an analysis of the historical context of the development of competence-based approaches in initial VET and higher vocational education, an exploration of the focus on competence approaches, as well as a review of the development of competence-based national systems of qualifications and National Qualifications Frameworks in Lithuania and Estonia. From a theoretical perspective, this chapter acknowledges the wide diversity in the definition and application of the concept of competence (Winterton et al. 2006; Weigel et al. 2007; Winterton 2009; Brockmann et al. 2009, 2011; Biemans et al 2009; Mulder 2014) and is partly based on the theory of institutional development of skill formation systems as proposed by Streeck and Thelen (2009).
