Before goal and development dialogue with students a teacher gives them the Innovation Competence self-assessment task to answer. It is better to choose the most relevant of those and not to use the whole list of allegations. The students can concentrate on those most relevant to their study-field and level of studies. 

During the conversation, a teacher asks the students how they will improve those innovation competences they have assessed lower level than others.

Students commit themselves to improve those. They are more motivated when they find out the solutions by themselves. 

Recommendations: Choose one to three statements of all and ask students to answer only those. Have a personal discussion about those with them and ask them to think how to improve the ones they assess not so good.

• After the student responds, they can talk about those areas and plan how to enhance the student’s skills.

• Focusing on just a few criteria makes the conversation more targeted.
