摘要：Background The importance of professional competence (PC) in business administration (BA) has increased considerably in many industrial nations over the past several years. However, while economic competence is being assessed internationally in the Assessment of Higher Learning Outcomes (AHELO) study, the modeling and assessment of PC in BA needs more research, particularly from an international perspective. We defined and modeled the construct of PC in BA based on theoretical analyses and evidence from international studies and, for the assessment, focused on knowledge of BA as a key facet of PC in BA. In this article, we describe the developed structural model of knowledge in BA and present the specifications and findings for the example of financial knowledge (FK). In the model, we describe cognitive levels of FK in relation to subject content and subject didactics. Moreover, we discuss influence factors on FK.
