Experts' views on digital competence: Commonalities and differences

Abstract

Following earlier studies aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of digital competence through a review of literature and current digital competence frameworks, this paper focuses on experts' views on digital competence. It describes the results of a Delphi study investigating experts' ideas on what it means to be digitally competent today. The study involved two online consultations, one directed at gathering individual ideas and one directed at validating the aggregated mapping of digital competence, established through various qualitative and quantitative data analysis steps. The paper describes and discusses the final results from the Delphi study involving 95 experts from across Europe and beyond. Results indicate that digital competence is built up of knowledge, skills, and attitudes pertaining to twelve different areas. Besides, results show that several issues of debate can be identified when it comes to establishing the boundaries of digital competence.

El Método Delphi en La Investigación Actual en Educación: Una Revisión Teórica Y Metodológica

“…En estos tópicos se identifican dos categorías temáticas, a saber: tecnología educativa (Porta et al, 2012;Snelson, Rice y Wyzard, 2012;Plesch et al, 2013;Janssen et al, 2013;Cabero, 2014;Shaikh y Khoja, 2014;Yeh et al, 2014) y educación superior-profesorado universitario (García-Aracil y Palomares-Montero, 2012;Huisman, Boer y Botas, 2012;Lohse, Kunina y Kunter, 2013;Cabero, 2014;Shaikh y Khoja, 2014;Maxey y Kezar, 2015).…”

Promoting digital competence in secondary education: are schools there? Insights from a case study

“…However, different authors (Janssen, Stoyanov, Ferrari, Punie & Pannekeet, 2013;Krumsvik, 2011) agree that, although digital competence may be quite concisely defined, it is less evident in practical terms and difficult to be transferred to the context of schools. In fact, Ferrari, Punie & Redecker (2012) have identified up to fifteen frameworks for approaching digital competence.…”

La evaluación de la competencia digital en la docencia universitaria: el caso de los grados de empresariales y económicas

“…Una mirada más atenta a otros estudios realizados (Area Moreira, 2010;Deumal y Guitert, 2015;Donnelly, 2010;Gámiz, Montes y Pérez, 2014;Janssen et al, 2013), dentro una lógica analítica comparativa, permite realizar una serie de matizaciones en referencia a los datos analizados. Para ello, nos servimos de una tabla (Tabla 3) que condensa los indicadores que hemos construido para poder establecer posiciones relativas en cada una de las categorías analizadas.…”

“…Los estudiantes universitarios deben aprender a trabajar con éxito en una sociedad compleja basada en información y conocimiento (Janssen et al, 2013). Ya no es solo una cuestión de polivalencia, sino de multicompetencia (UNESCO, 2008), en la que las tecnologías juegan un papel fundamental.…”
