Key, Essential and Social Competencies and Competences in the Approach of I. A. Zimnyaya: Classification Problem

The article analyses the classification of key, basic and social competences and competences proposed by Professor I. A. Zimnyaya. The proposed visualisation of these competencies/competences in the form of a tabular model allowed to identify, show and reveal the essential contradictions underlying the classification of key, basic and social competencies/competences. The ways of reorganisation of the considered classification of competencies/competences, contributing to the resolution of some problems that hinder the acceptance and practical application of the competence approach by the pedagogical community, are shown.
