Description
Summary:The professional requirements in software engineering have become highly volatile due to the complexities of project development and rapid and innovative changes occurring in the field. Therefore, the development of inter-personal and social competences has gained central importance in the training of software developers. The following text will present a concept allowing to acquire competences by using Pair Programming as an instrument. Moreover, arrangements for learning and teaching will be presented facilitating the acquisition of these competences. By approaching the issue of competence acquisition on a technical as well as on an educational and social level, lifelong learning is facilitated and supported.
