This study investigates assessment competence in mathematical modelling among pre-service teachers. 33 participants from the University of Kassel (Germany) were divided into experimental and control groups, with the former receiving training on a specific assessment scheme. Post-training results showed significant improvement in the experimental group's ability to evaluate solutions to modelling tasks, unlike the control group. The findings suggest that targeted assessment training enhances pre-service teachers' assessment competence in mathematical modelling, underscoring the importance of integrating structured assessment frameworks into teacher education programs for better handling of diverse student responses in mathematical contexts. • Conducting an empirical study to promote the assessment competence of pre-service mathematics teachers. • Possibility of measuring assessment competence for mathematical modelling. • Targeted training with the help of an assessment scheme to improve assessment competence
