Digital Competence in Teacher Education Curriculum- from Objectives to Assessment

Prof. Dr. Vasya Delibaltova

ABSTRACT:

This article presents and analyzes some of the results of a large-scale study on the level of digitalization in Bulgarian education under the SUMMIT project in the context of the European Framework DigCompEdu. The focus of this stage of the study is on the syllabuses of courses included in the Bulgarian state requirements for teacher qualification. The main goal is to study the reflection/conceptualization of pedagogical digital competencies at the level of planning the educational process in the teacher education at the institutional level. The syllabus of courses in all faculties of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, which are engaged in the preparation of teachers in different content areas and at different educational stages, were studied. The research questions are focused on the key competencies from the framework for the studied courses and the possible influences in defining them as such. The results show that the courses mostly emphasize the selection of digital resources, teaching and assessment strategies, while the inclusion of competencies in the programs and their interpretation is influenced by the content of the university courses and the specificity of the subjects that the students will teach.
