DigCompSAT
Testing Tools for The European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp) provides a comprehensive approach for digital competence that can be adapted to many areas of life. The DigCompSat tool aims at testing empirically the set of DigComp competences corresponding to levels 1 to 6 (foundation, intermediate and advanced). It can be considered that these are the most widely needed digital competence levels for most European citizens for their employment and career development .
Knowledge
Knowledge
KNOWLEDGE It means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is related to a field of work or study.
Skills
Skills
SKILLS They are the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) or practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments).
Attitudes
Attitudes
ATTITUDES They are conceived as the motivators of performance, the basis for continued competent performance. They include values, aspirations and priorities.
The DigCompSat tool aims at testing empirically the set of DigComp 2.1 competences corresponding to levels 1 to 6 (foundation, intermediate and advanced).
The tool is designed with a methodological perspective that allows measuring of digital competence by the three elements - knowledge, skills and attitude – for each of the 5 DigComp areas. It also provides respondents with a self-reflection path on their digital competence. It was piloted in Ireland, Latvia and Spain by 16-65 year old individuals.
The DigComp tool has sound psychometric properties, including the validity and internal consistency of the items. It is able to perform three main functions for test takers:
measuring existing competences based on the respondents’ self-reflection
identifying competence gaps
raising awareness
The conciseness of the items allowed a test-time of less than 30 minutes across different countries, age and educational background groups and genders.
