Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the successful stages of competence development of students in the higher education system through the lens of the personal development theory. A qualitative assessment of the development of the students’ professional competencies was carried out in accordance with Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. It was demonstrated that 70 % of the changes in the development levels of the professional competencies were conditioned by the meta-competency levels and 30 % by other factors. In conclusion, the development of meta-competencies determines the choice of actual development trajectory as the ability to translate an immense potentiality into reality.
