The empirical material consisted of four persons who were interviewed and the analysis of the material was inspired by grounded theory.
From the analysis four major themes or core factors emerged as central to the interviewed persons' understanding of the competence development process; solid preparatory work in relation to competence development, communication, awareness of responsibilities and finally the taking action and evaluation of the action. These themes are discussed in relation to the literature on competence development and we find parallelling major themes. (Less)
