Models and Instruments for assessing Digital Competence at School 论文

摘要

How digital competence can be defi ned and assessed? One of the most known instruments to certificate IT skills is the European Computer Driving License (ECDL), but it focuses on the mastery of specific technical skills while neglecting dimensions which are pedagogically significant.In such a context, our research group developed a conceptual model for the notion of digital competence based on three dimensions: technological,cognitive and ethical. Grounding on this model, we worked out and tested an instrument (Instant DCA) to assess digital competence in students aged 15/16 years.
