Perceptions of desirable graduate competencies for science and technology new graduates.
Students practiced the core competency of communicating science by presenting their results.
This fact meant that the success or failure of general science depended on the competency and enthusiasm of science teachers.
Innovating firms from Germany are grouped according to the degree to which they combine DUI mode competencies with formal learning of science and technology (i.e. the Science, Technology and Innovation – STI – mode).
Core competencies include the process of science, interdisciplinary nature of modern biology, data interpretation, quantitative skills, communication in multiple formats, and student experience with large databases.

Most recently, Vision and Change put forth the standard that undergraduates in biology develop competencies, including applying the process of science, using quantitative reasoning, and using modeling and simulation (AAAS, 2011).
The development and implementation of Biological Inquiry is our response to the national call to adopt best pedagogical practices and build the science competencies of our undergraduates.
The policy requires science teachers to have teaching competencies, an understanding of the philosophy of science, process skills and a scientific attitude.
The proposed activity addresses the evidence-based process of science among the core competencies of the Vision and Change report on education in undergraduate biology (Brewer and Smith 2011).
