RESPO-VI: Development of an expert support system for competency assessment in higher education

Higher education is on the verge of changes that bring fresh ways of acquiring and sharing knowledge and skills through the use of innovative formal and informal training approaches. These approaches intertwine and are based on artificial intelligence and large amounts of data. Teachers and students of higher education institutions must develop the skills demanded by Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0, which the Covid-19 pandemic has already highlighted by emphasizing the gap between current capabilities and those required by industry due to constant technological progress. The main purpose of the project is to monitor the progress of STEM students in the competencies they need for an easier transition to the 21st century society, during formal and informal education, using a decision support system. The specific objectives of the project include determining the general and specific skills of STEM students for the job market; promoting cross-sectoral and bilateral exchange of good practices in the use of digital tools for the development of 21st century skills; designing a new approach to teaching and learning for students using the RESPO-VI system, which provides decision-making support. The RESPO-VI project is co-financed by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism under the Education - Human Resources Development program, EEA Grants, and Slovenian participation (Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development) in the amount of 499,917 EUR.
