Europejskie ramy kompetencji cyfrowych nauczycieli – kluczowe obszary badania poziomu umiejętności i ich implikacje

Digital competences are considered a particularly important component of key competences of modern people. The documents of the European Parliament and the respective Polish Teacher Training Standards indicate the need for educators to acquire computer and information technology competences that can be used in their work, professional development, and personal development. The importance of those competences in everyday life has increased dramatically due to the current pandemic of COVID-19, with distance learning becoming the only form of education available. The need to acquire or improve digital skills has also increased. This paper discusses the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) and a self-assessment tool designed based on this framework. With the universality and practical applicability of the tool, it can become an inspiration for lifelong improvement of digital competences both in organized forms and as self-learning activities.
