  text: Modeling is an integral part of many computing-related disciplines and thus
    also represents a curricular core component in computing education in tertiary
    education. Competence models in which modeling is integrated at least to some
    extent already exist in some of these disciplines. However, for the core component
    of graphical modeling, a competence model that illuminates the relevant competences
    in detail is still lacking. Therefore, we develop a competence model for graphical
    modeling with the aim to make teaching and especially assessments in the field
    more competence-oriented. This paper reports on the first two studies conducted
    to develop and validate the competence model for graphical modeling. In the first
    study, the structure of the competence model was developed based on theories and
    approaches of educational science. Competences relevant for graphical modeling
    were deductively derived from literature and existing university course descriptions
    using techniques of qualitative content analysis. The result of the first study
    is a preliminary competence model. In the second study, the preliminary competence
    model was reviewed by means of an expert rating in the modeling community. The
    competence model was revised and refined based on these findings and subsequent
    expert discussions. The main result of the investigation represents the competence
    model for graphical modeling (CMGM), which includes a total of 74 competence facets
    at different cognitive process levels in the five content areas of ”model understanding
    and interpreting”, ”model building and modifying”, ”values, attitudes, and beliefs”,
    ”metacognitive knowledge and skills”, and ”social-communicative skills”.
