100Prüfung

100Prüfung is a term used in German-language educational technology to denote a broad-spectrum assessment framework intended to measure a learner's competences across a wide range of domains. The name reflects an emphasis on breadth, aiming to cover roughly 100 distinct areas of knowledge and skill, while also allowing depth within each domain through tiered tasks.

The framework is modular by design. It conceptually divides the assessment into 100 domains or modules, each containing a set of tasks of varying formats, such as multiple-choice items, short-answer questions, simulations, and performance-based tasks. It supports adaptive item selection and multi-method evidence of competence.

Scoring combines domain-level and overall results. Each domain contributes to an overall score, and a detailed competency profile highlights strengths and gaps. Scoring often uses partial credit for complex tasks and may incorporate criterion- or rubric-based judgments, especially for performance tasks.

Applications of the 100Prüfung concept appear in discussions of higher education assessment, vocational training, and online learning platforms. It is primarily explored in theoretical and pilot contexts and has not achieved broad standardization. Proponents argue that the framework can support curriculum alignment and personalized feedback, while critics warn about logistical complexity, biases, and reliability across cultures.

In scholarly and policy discussions, 100Prüfung is cited as a case study in holistic, competency-based assessment and in the challenges of scaling broad-domain testing. It remains a concept rather than a widely implemented testing regime.
