Abstract

In selecting teachers for courses, effort is always made to ensure sound use of competences to achieve the desired instructional quality under the assumed cost conditions. The present study is a review of the state of the art in research on ​​competence management problems, in particular, the Teacher Assignment Problem (TAP). The article focuses methods of modelling TAP, competence models, and level of competence as a function of time.
