A survey was conducted in three groups using a random sample of participants (96 student-athletes, 29 teachers and 35 employers of the School of Physical Education of Chongqing University) created by the authors to assess 30 competencies included in the Tuning Project and correlations between the groups' assessments were examined.
Results:
According to the ranking and rating results of 30 competencies included in the Tuning Project, there were significant differences between the answers of these three clusters. The competence "Ability to apply knowledge in practice" had the highest correlation of the results in all the clusters of the respondents (students, teachers, employers) for both importance (0.2976) and effectiveness (0.2845). "Problem-solving skills" - (0.2453) and "Will to succeed" - (0.2152) were the next two competencies that the respondents had rated highly according to the both evaluation criteria.
