Call for Papers Thematic Issue Digital Competences

The December issue of RE @ D is dedicated to Digital Competencies, a central theme on the agenda of the European Commission and the reform program of the XXI Constitutional Government of Portugal. As part of the theme, the European Commission has developed a sophisticated framework that has been disseminated and extended since 2013, the European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp). The Portuguese Government has launched, however, the “National Digital Competence Initiative e.2020 – INCoDe.2030”. This initiative, in turn, arises in a favorable school context, where the experience already acquired in the field reinforces the commitment of teachers to embrace projects of this nature. It is now up to academics and researchers to join the debate, extending it to its dimensions of practical, theoretical, scientific, pedagogical, organizational, strategic and political reflection.

It is for this reflection that the December issue of RE@ D calls for submissions. All submissions that contribute to a better understanding of the challenges at stake and to the construction of solutions to overcome them will be welcome. In addition to these, they will also be very welcomed, as they are less frequent in the literature, the submissions that address:

experiences of developing digital competences where the distinctions between competences and knowledge are clear and the transversal and multidimensional nature of the former;
theoretical, scientific, pedagogical, organizational, strategic and political reflections on the problem of digital competences;
reflections on the benchmarks of digital skills, their potential, limitations, operationalization and transformation in innovative practices and change;
experiences and proposals for intervention that transcend the merely instrumental nature of digital competences and give clues about its cultural and emancipatory dimension.

Thematic Editor: António Dias de Figueiredo
