Large-scale international comparative studies of student competence have had a big impact both on research in education and on educational policies in the recent decades.
Systematic comparative analyses were focused on competence regulation, bacteriocin (mutacin) production, antibiotic resistance, oxidative stress resistance, as well as central carbon metabolism and energy production pathways.
Furthermore, high school students perceived substantive feedback to be more competence-supportive than comparative feedback (Rakoczy, Harks, Klieme, Blum, & Hochweber, 2013).
The Teaching and Learning International Study TALISS) (OECD 2014) is a comparative international large-scale survey on teacher competences.
Given a valid assessment of domain-specific competence, IC apprentices are supposed to outperform the comparative samples.
Since drivers crash more frequently in a simulator than in real life [28], it was decided to use a comparative approach to evaluate driving performance (or decline in driving competence) by testing experienced younger drivers and experienced older drivers.
This information will enable a thorough comparative analysis of these spirochetes and likely yield insights into vector competence and pathogenicity.
The quantity and quality of data generated by RNA-seq technology makes this an ideal approach for comparative analyses of the transcriptome of Ae. aegypti strains with different vector competence and vectorial capacity.
The objective of this comparative descriptive research was to determine if there was a difference in self reported competence between graduates from PBL and non PBL NPBLL) nursing programs.
The comparative QPCR-based analysis was carried out during late oogenesis at successive steps of maturational competence acquisition in both species.
