Vol. 8 No. 1 (2024): The Role of the Teacher in Developing Digital Competencies

The call for papers for this issue was thematically focused on the role of teachers in developing digital competencies across all levels of education (from pre-primary to tertiary). In recent years, the development of students’ digital literacy had resonated strongly within educational practice as well as across various educational institutions and disciplines. This trend was further supported by the introduction of a new key competence—digital competence—into curricular documents.

For teachers of any subject, discipline, or educational level, this represented not only an opportunity but also a necessity to implement changes in teaching and lesson preparation, to monitor technological trends, and, in some cases, to revise the very content of education. Closely related to these developments was the need to provide support for teachers at multiple levels, ranging from the school level to the state level.
