“…Sweden has recently launched two national educational policy documents: the National Digitalisation Strategy for the School System (Government Decision I:1, 2017) and National Plan for Action for the Digitalisation of School (Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, 2019). These policies most likely will be highly relevant for Swedish TE (Olofsson, Fransson, & Lindberg, 2019). Sweden's strategy focuses on the conditions and development of so-called adequate digital competence (ADC) in Swedish K-12 schools.…”

“…Sweden's strategy focuses on the conditions and development of so-called adequate digital competence (ADC) in Swedish K-12 schools. This ADC is said to mirror recommendations from the EU (Hanell, 2018) and is understood in the strategy as a continuously changing competence, reflecting needs in the society as well as prerequisites by pupils in the school (see Olofsson et al, 2019). In turn, the action plan provides guidelines for fulfiling the strategy's proposed goals at a national level.…”

This study explores how Swedish teacher educators view individual, collegial, and organisational conditions framing the fulfilment of their dual didactical task, which is to use digital technology in a way that ensures student teachers graduate from teacher education (TE) with the professional digital competence (PDC) needed for their future working lives in a digitalised school. Using a purposive sampling approach, we used thematic coding to analyse 13 semistructured interviews with teacher educators representing 21 mandatory courses in educational science at one teacher education institution in Sweden. The findings cover aspects of the teacher educators' PDC, how to act as a digital role model for the student teachers, support in educational policy and assignments, and the possibilities for participating in continuous professional development (CPD) in PDC. This study demonstrates an urgent need to improve conditions for successful fulfilment of teacher educators' dual didactical task. For example, TE policy requires a strong focus on digital technology and PDC. CPD activities should be easy to access in order for teacher educators to develop their PDC. Moreover, leaders at the organisational level in TE institutions should acknowledge and place higher value on teacher educators' work to digitalise educational practices.

“…Согласно позиции Шведского национального агентства по образованию (2018), «адекватная цифровая компетенция» может быть разделена на четыре области: 1) понять ПЕДАГОГИКА влияние цифровизации на общество; 2) уметь использовать и понимать цифровые инструменты и медиа; 3) разработать критический и ответственный подход; 4) уметь решать проблемы и воплощать идеи в действия [10]. Разработчики программы «Навыки 21 века -обучение для жизни в наше время» (Б. Триллинг, Ч.Фейдл) уверены, что ИКТ и цифровые технологии призваны постепенно сделать возможным массовую персонализацию обучения.…”

“…Two-year-old toddlers regularly watch films and videos, play games, and listen to music on tablet computers [5], and half of all children can use tablets autonomously by the time they enter school [6,7]. There has been an increase in the use of digital technology in European K-12 schools over the last decade [6,7]. Laptops, digital tablets, and Learning Management Systems (LMS) are all examples of commonly used technologies [8].…”

Analysis of Interpersonal Competences in the Use of ICT in the Spanish University Context

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article analyzes Higher Education students’ development of interpersonal competences when using Information and Communication Technologies. The participating sample was made up of 1490 students from three Spanish universities: Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), Pablo de Olavide University (Spain), and National Distance Education University (UNED). The data were collected through a questionnaire called “Basic digital skills 2.0 of university students” COBADI® (Registered trademark: 2970648). A factorial analysis was performed to determine possible groupings of representative factors and subsequently the trees technique was applied by running the CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector) algorithm. This made it possible to develop a map of possible differences between universities, ages, and gender of students. The results showed that university students have higher competences in communicating through interactive presentations and video-images, as well as in collaborating and working with documents online through mobile devices.
