DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS' DIGITAL COMPETENCE STANDARD IN MYKOLAYIV REGION

Abstract

The article identifies the cognitive and functional components of the modern teachers’ digital competence. International standards of UNESCO (ICT-CFT), digital competence framework for citizens (DigComp 2.1 and DigCompEdu) and Norwegian digital competence framework for teachers (Professional Digital Competence Framework for Teachers) are analyzed in the article. Based on the analysis of European digital competency documents, five structural elements of the cognitive and functional components of digital competence have been identified (functioning in operating systems and office applications; digital technologies for communication, collaboration, self-development, Internet safety, searching, creating, promoting and using of digital resources; digital technologies in inclusive education; academic integrity and copyright). The weight of the structural elements and their components are determined by the method of expert assessment: functioning in operating systems and office applications, communication and collaboration, safety in the digital society, search and use of digital resources, creating and promoting own digital resources, information and ability to handle data, using digital technologies in inclusive education, integrity and copyright, the usage of licensed software. The above description of the functional and cognitive components of the modern teacher's digital competence is focused on the application in postgraduate teacher education as well as in non-formal teacher education and can be the basis for the curriculum development or the tool for assessing the teacher's digital competence. It is proved that the national digital competence standards development on the basis of the European digital competence framework, the creation of an appropriate legal basis, the development of regional training programs for teachers in the field of digital technologies contribute to the teachers' digital competence and their professional development.
