The article focuses on the specific measurement, evaluation and validation of social competencies of an adaptive and emancipatory-critical character. The paper discusses the difficulties with the validation of the enumerated kinds of competencies. The author distinguishes three approaches to the study, evaluation and validation of social competencies. First of them is the description of competencies according to the acknowledged international standards and programs, as well as the description of professional competencies with the use of checklists. In case of the second approach, some standardized measurements tools are used, such as test and self-evaluation questionnaires. The third approach is based on a competence portfolio.
