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

The focus of this issue is on the role of the teacher in developing digital competencies at all educational levels (from pre-primary to tertiary). In recent years, fostering digital literacy among pupils and students has become a prominent topic within educational practice and across all educational institutions and disciplines. This emphasis is driven in part by the inclusion of a new key competency—digital competency—within curricular documents. For teachers of any subject, field, or educational level, this shift presents both an opportunity and a need to adapt teaching approaches and preparation, stay up-to-date with technological trends, and potentially redefine educational content itself. Consequently, there is a growing need to support teachers on multiple levels, from school-based to state-level support.
