This paper has been prepared in support of an investigative workshop which will enable participants to explore the nexus between the Key Competencies and the formation of sound judgements. It relies heavily on a paper prepared by Paul Hager in 1998 for the NSW Department of Training and Educational Co-ordination (indexed at TD/TNC 56.110). It is intended to provide the theoretical underpinnings and rationale for the material covered within the workshop. It is organised in the form of a short introduction followed by a definition of what is meant by making workplace judgements. Some of the key findings from research and pilot projects on the integration of the Key Competencies within vocational and general education are then outlined followed by a discussion of the role of the Key Competencies in the formation of judgements. The paper ends with a number of exercises which will be explored in the workshop and a brief concluding statement.
