“…The results show that students perceive their DC as developed, which is in line with other research done with students from Serbia (e.g. Topalov et al, 2013). However, the same studies have shown that students conduct their search in a very limited manner and their knowledge of relevant and useful online resources is lacking.…”

The Current European Digital Competence Framework for Lifelong Learning (DigComp 2.2) includes five areas with 21 sub-competences, and most of them are included in the European Master’s in Translation (EMT) 2009-2022 frameworks. Which of these will be included in the curricula depends on the level of the study program (BA or MA) and the needs of the students, who we tend to believe are digital nomads. In the educational context of our study various areas of digital competences (DC) are developed implicitly as part of translation assignments and are not specifically acknowledged and assessed. In this paper we investigate how the students perceive their DC and whether this is connected to the number and type of translation courses taken and their view of themselves as future translators. The data was collected via an online questionnaire. The informants (N=58) assessed 25 statements on a five-point Likert scale, thereby reporting how skilled they believed they were with respect to various digital practices. The data was coded and analysed with the SPSS software package. The statistical tests include descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, a one-way ANOVA and a two-way ANOVA. The results show that the students have a high perception of their DC, but no significant connection can be established between the pedagogical input and the students’ perception in this regard. The paper ends with the analysis of the pedagogical implications of this finding for teachers and course developers.

“…A systematic review found seven studies that evaluated research capabilities, three of which performed and reported on the psychometric validation of these instruments [ 10 ]. A study on philosophy students was conducted in Serbia, and the results show that students have difficulty using digital and virtual libraries [ 11 ]. A study on medical students in Sri Lanka discovered that 64% generated research ideas and 78% had difficulty conducting a literature review [ 8 ].…”

“…The development of research skills for many pedagogical professions commences in undergraduate education yet there is limited evidence regarding effective research teaching and learning approaches. According to (G. Rodríguez, N. Pérez, G. Núñez [1]; J. Topalov, B. Radić-Bojanić [2]) the main goal of recearch activity is to consolidate and to deepen knowledge which are received by students within the process of training, to acquire the necessary research skills. For most of this century, and increasingly in modern times, teacher educators have been impelled to consider ways in which a greater level of reflectivity, especially through enhancing research skills development, might be integrated into the teacher education program (T. Lovat, M. Davies, R. Plotnikoff [3]).…”

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of developing programme-specific competencies in future primary school teachers using project methodology in the process of initial teacher education. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of project skills in future primary school teachers and analyze the obtained empirical data. Materials and Methods. The research was conducted using the method of psychological and educational experiment. The empirical data included students’ essays and questionnaires. The sample consisted of students of Karaganda university named after academician E. A. Buketov and Pavlodar pedagogical university. The obtained data were interpreted and subjected to statistical analysis using the Student's t-test. Results. The authors have developed criteria and indicators for evaluating future teachers’ project skills in order to experimentally interpret their project activities. The identification of students' priorities for the choice of certain types of project activities determined the validity of the questionnaire. Frequency and percentage analyses revealed the insufficient level of project skills in future primary school teachers related to the following components: (1) the motivational component of programme-specific competencies; (2) the cognitive component; (2) the reflexive component. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that students demonstrated a low level of project skills, which can significantly complicate the process of improving the quality of initial teacher training for a new type of primary schools. Keywords Project activity of students; Formation of design skills; Special competence; Future primary school teachers; Initial teacher education; Modernization of education.
