Abstract-Instructors not only in higher education are regularly faced with the problem that they need to develop a new course or adapt an existing one to changed requirements. This is especially true for topics related to information technology (IT) due to the fast technological progress. Instructors, however, are not prepared really well for this task since they typically have a professional and educational background in areas different from pedagogy. Therefore, some sort of methodological framework to support the systematic development and refinement of courses would be highly appreciated.This paper presents such a model, called CompetenceOriented Subject-Matter Didactics. This didactical theory builds upon several concepts from general didactics, most notably Klafki's Didactic Analysis, and combines and extends these concepts. As a proof of concept, CompetenceOriented Subject-Matter Didactics is applied to the refinement of an introductory course on information systems. This case study indicates, among other things, that this theoretical model has the potential to be applicable for course (re-)design in other domains beyond IT as well.

“…Competences are more powerful concepts than tasks -a person needs some competences if she has to carry out a task. Competences are more than factual or procedural knowledge, but rather also encompass skills or, more generally, non-technical aspects [15]. A comprehensive, scientifically sound competence profile for requirements engineers must encompass both technical and non-technical competences, just like a competence profile for software engineering does.…”

“…This is true for any type of competence: Watching someone riding a bike or listening to someone explaining how to ride a bike does not enable the observer to actually ride a bike by herself. The application of methods in RE requires not only generic soft skills such as presentation techniques, but rather context-sensitive non-technical skills [15] in tight combination with factual knowledge.…”

Abstract-Good requirements are commonly viewed as a key success factor for IT (and non-IT) projects, but still there seems to be insufficient insight into which competences requirements engineers need to have these days. Digitalization is likely to pose new challenges to requirements engineering. Chances are that digitalization will change the competences that are necessary for successful requirements engineering.This paper proposes a research design that will be used for clarifying which competences requirements engineers need nowadays and how these competences change due to digitalization. To that end, qualitative and quantitative research methods will be combined for developing a comprehensive competence profile for requirements engineering on a scientific basis. The resulting competence profile constitutes a starting point for devising competence-oriented learning settings. Thus, our research contributes to a better understanding of competences for requirements engineering and improves education of future requirements engineers, in particular for coping with challenges posed by digitalization.

Software engineer's/developer's competency has long been established as a key pillar for the development of software. Nevertheless, the satisfaction levels derived from using a competency needs more investigation. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for identifying hard competencies and their satisfaction levels. The paper contributes to the software engineering competency research by highlighting the satisfaction levels of hard competence for the benefit of the educators (academia), software engineers and users of software competence (practitioner).
