Building Teachers’ Digital Competence through a Self-Reflection Process

Teachers’ digital competence is a key element of the digital transition and transformation of education for quality teaching and learning. Education systems are seeking meaningful and effective professional development to support teachers build their digital competence. We propose a self-reflection process for teachers’ professional learning and an online tool to facilitate this process. The tool uses the DigCompEdu framework as the conceptual reference for educators’ digital competence. Personalised feedback generated by the tool can help teachers design their professional learning paths, while anonymous aggregated data can support plan professional development programmes. We implemented a pilot study to test the tool validity and reliability and collect preliminary data on its use. We are currently conducting a qualitative study to explore how the tool can be used effectively for the self-reflection process. This short paper presents the conceptual approach of the project, while empirical results will be shared in future papers.
