Our notions of digital competence must respond to the deep roots of digital transformation in our current society. We need a pedagogy of ‘the digital’ that does not focus solely on teaching technical skills, in order for citizens to be prepared for the societal debates about digitalisation, to be able to actively participate in them, and to develop their own informed attitudes toward the possibilities opened up by the digital transformation. In particular, opportunities for learning democracy and strengthening social participation are needed to empower active citizens, to raise awareness among broader groups in the population, and to ensure that the digital transformation in Europe is people-centred and shaped along democratic rights and values and upholds human rights prinicples. With this handbook for educators, we present training methodologies and examples of relevant practice and encourage digitalisation as a central topic in lifelong learning: Learning for digitalisation, learning about digitalisation and learning through digitalisation.

While these devices have brought a tremendous amount of value to learners of every age, the digital world is one with its own set of rules and risks.

Digital competence is not yet a stable concept (see also the answer “What is digital competence” about defining the concept) but emerging from various backgrounds. We had to consider what issues to include in the definition of digital competence. Studies about the curriculum do not necessarily explicitly use the term “digital competence” but discuss, for example, about “digital literacy”, “media literacy” or “ICT skills”. For this reason, the original author’s concept is mentioned when reviewing the results, if relevant, to make it clear which term and which elements of digital competence have been investigated in the referred article.
