Content analysis of occupational definitions

The methodological process followed for the competence assignment has considered two main phases. In a first phase, a taxonomic analysis has been carried out, identifying and systematizing the tasks included in around the 1.300 definitions of the two main occupational classification systems SOC-2018 and ISCO-2008. Once systematized, it has been assigned to key competences from the European Reference Framework on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning established by the European Commission (European Council, 2018). In a second phase, and on the basis of the results obtained, an analysis of competences has been developed. To make it possible, it has been established two indexes that measure to what extent a competence is relevant to an occupation, quantifying if such competence is present in all the tasks performed for such occupation or just in some or even if it is not (extension). The second index, specialization, measures to what extent a given competence is the most important of the tasks developed by an occupation, or if on the contrary, it is only one of the required competences.本次职业能力匹配所遵循的方法论流程包含两个核心阶段。第一阶段开展分类学分析，对两大主流职业分类体系——美国标准职业分类体系2018版（SOC-2018）与国际标准职业分类体系2008版（ISCO-2008）——共计约1300份职业定义中涵盖的任务进行识别与系统化梳理。完成系统化梳理后，将上述任务匹配至欧盟委员会（欧洲理事会，2018）发布的《终身学习关键能力欧洲参考框架》中的核心能力维度。第二阶段则基于第一阶段的研究结果开展能力分析。为实现该分析目标，本研究构建了两项指标以衡量能力与职业的相关程度：其一为覆盖广度（extension），通过量化某一能力是否覆盖该职业的全部任务、仅覆盖部分任务，或完全未覆盖相关任务，完成关联程度的判定；其二为专业化程度（specialization），用于衡量特定能力在该职业所开展任务中的重要性层级，即判断其是否为该职业的核心任务能力，抑或仅为所需具备的常规能力之一。
