Developing Teachers’ Digital Competence: Results From a Pilot in Portugal
Margarida Lucas, Nuno Dorotea, João Piedade
Abstract
This article analyzes the contribution of three continuous professional development sessions for the improvement of teachers' digital competence. The contribution was measured using a pre- and post-test. It uses the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) as a guiding document and the DigCompEdu Check-In questionnaire as a self-assessment tool. The results show that the contribution was positive, with proficiency levels improving in all competences and competence areas explored during the sessions. Implications are discussed.
