Digital Competences and Skills in the Frame of Education and Training

Abstract

: Digital competence is increasingly a significant foundation for a modern knowledge society that operates in compressed space and time, in conditions of high mobility, interchangeability of many tools and resources, and in the saturation of information sources. The Empirical data are obtained by qualitative methods: 30 in-depth interviews carried out with members of different social groups. The paper argues that digital literacy includes the ability to search, select and process information in computer and network sources, content creation, and Internet safety skills. The main conclusions are that more efforts needed to improve the educational methods to create digital competences of learners.
