Abstract:

All OECD countries agree on the importance of key competences. The need to develop key competences at all levels, but also in lifelong learning, has been a topical topic for a long time. According to the obtained information, which is presented in our article, the most important knowledge, skills and abilities that are required to achieve success in employment as well as in personal life are listed.
Significant attention is paid to work with key competences. It is known that the need for key competences and their lifelong development means that there is potential for a better workplace, personal life or personal development. In the school educational program and subsequently in the study and teaching fields, the graduate's key competences are developed by making knowledge available in an appropriate and comprehensible manner with an emphasis on the development of all key competences without prioritizing one key competence over another. The main goal of the work is to describe such activating teaching methods that can be used in the education of professional subjects and thereby bring new knowledge in a more interesting way.
Suitable key competences are those that are activated in new situations and subsequently offer a wide range of possibilities for quickly and successfully solving the given problem and coping with the changes that new situations have brought.
