Comparative European DigCompEdu Framework (JRC) and Common Framework for Teaching Digital Competence (INTEF) through expert judgment

Quadro Comparativo Europeu DigCompEdu (JRC) e Quadro Comum para o Ensino de Competência Digital (INTEF) por meio de opinião de especialistas

Abstract

Digital technology, as one of the elements of the Knowledge Society, assumes a determining role in educational systems, where the role of teachers is fundamental. Along these lines, different institutions support the importance of teaching digital skills, proposing models and conceptual frameworks. In them, the knowledge and skills that teachers must develop are classified, combining technological, professional, organizational and pedagogical capacities, with different dimensions and descriptors. The objective of this article is to compare and evaluate the feasibility of the DigCompEdu European Digital Competence Framework for Teachers (JRC) and the Common Framework for Teaching Digital Competence (INTEF). To do this, it is decided to carry out a theoretical reflection on said frameworks and a subsequent Delphi study with the coefficient of expert competence (CEC). 335 people participated, of which 275 (82.1%) were considered experts (CEC ≥ 0.8). The results indicate that, although they are very similar, the European DigCompEdu Teaching Digital Competence Framework is the most endorsed by experts. Finally, the idea that both are viable proposals to develop teaching digital skills through personalized training itineraries is presented.
