ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETENCE-BASED APPROACH OF THE SCHOOLS’ CURRICULUM OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN: DIGITAL COMPETENCES

Abstract

This article presents a qualitative analysis of the content of educational curricula for the presence of elements of a competency-based approach with an emphasis on the development of digital competence of students. As an object of study, educational programs and mid-term plans of senior classes in the subjects of computer science (as a specific subject) and mathematics (as a general education subject), implemented in schools of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the 2020-2021 academic year, were chosen. The results of the analysis show the need to develop a digital competence framework for high school students, which could specify the types and components of digital competence and become a guideline for planned revisions of the content of educational programs in high school.
