Their research is the first stage in a larger project to investigate the process of translation competence acquisition.
First, all the translation competence acquisition indicators should affect the whole process of translation, not just some of the stages.
Among the genes exhibiting a stepwise down-regulation in the somatic cells surrounding the oocyte throughout the process of oocyte competence acquisition, a strong down-regulation was observed for the genes belonging to the Tcf21/Tcf23 group of orthologous genes.
Among the evolutionary conserved players participating in developmental competence acquisition are genes involved in key processes such as cellular energy metabolism, cell-to-cell communications, and meiosis control.

The timing of star over-expression suggests, however, that Star would not be involved only in maturational competence acquisition but also in further follicular processes (e.g. ovulation) possibly through an increase of maturation-inducing steroid (MIS) synthesis.
These two processes are referred to as maturational competence acquisition and developmental competence acquisition, respectively.
Additionally, the incorporation of web tools, such as video clips accessible via YouTube, can be effective in improving levels of student engagement in the learning process, facilitating a learning-by-doing approach and better levels of retention and competence acquisition (Manca and Ranierit 2013; Rama, 2014).
In companies, competence management involves several heavy processes that we have categorised in four classes: competence identification, competence assessment, competence acquisition, and competence usage.
Translation competence and its process of acquisition were described, and then three measuring instruments especially developed to measure translation competence acquisition were presented: (I) to measure notions about translation, (II) to measure students' behavior when faced with translation problems, and (III) to measure errors.
