“…The Finnish education system places the teacher in a system of relationships that extend beyond the school premises, including those with the parents of students and, in general, members of the social group in which he or she lives and works, and he or she is obliged to respond to their needs. The teaching profession has an extremely strong human dimension, which involves not only knowledge and skills but also attitudes and values -in short, a professional conscience (Aydin, 2022).…”

A highly qualified teacher of the future should demonstrate to students the highest performance and expected results of their activities after completing the proposed tasks and activities. At the same time, the professional teacher of the future should take care of the adaptation of students and the fact of their diversity by changing teaching strategies and learning materials that are appropriate to the age, prior learning, cultural values, and individual needs of the educational program. The role of the teacher in the future is to ensure the formation and education of the personalities of new generations and their professional training within educational institutions, closely related to life, social and professional, moral, and civic activities. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the problems of forming the skills and personality traits of a teacher that would cause reverberations in students for many years after graduation. The work uses general scientific and special scientific research methods, adheres to the principles of objectivity, scientificity, specificity, and systematicity to argue for the normative reason, of updating the system of professional competencies in an increasingly globalized, multicultural, diverse, and complex environment marked by digital technologies and transformations. It is about the need to change the system of acquiring thorough knowledge to mobilize the professional achievements of teachers. This is the whole point of rewriting the common core of knowledge, skills, and culture envisioned by the Ukrainian education reform. Search engines have identified more than 100 articles on pedagogy. As a result of the selection and verification process, only 21 state-of-the-art sources from 2021-2022 were selected (given the novelty of the proposed scientific research). The results address the problem of professional competence development in European countries. The generalization of the characteristics of the teacher of the future in the context of the global challenges of our time is made based on the contrast of the experiences of the described countries and the general opinion of the participants in the relevant forum. Thus, the reference base of professional competencies for pedagogical and educational professions should reflect the developments in the training of teachers and pedagogical staff in the context of the new Ukrainian education system.

“…The study adopted a three-part questionnaire design. The first section solicited demographic information relevant to the analysis, including gender, age, highest level of Finland and Korea were selected for our international comparative study because they are leading ICT powerhouses in Asia and Europe, respectively, and have been used for cross-country comparisons in previous studies [56,57]. These two relatively small countries also have domestic brands that have managed to compete in the global ICT ecosystem, which is mainly led by companies from the United States and China.…”

The pervasive integration of digital platforms into daily life has amplified their perceived indispensability. This study investigates the factors influencing this perception across countries with contrasting platform landscapes, focusing on platform quality and usage patterns. We conducted surveys in Finland and Korea, countries representing distinct platform ecosystems. The results revealed higher perceived indispensability in Korea than in Finland, with usefulness and habitual platform use emerging as significant predictors of indispensability in both countries. However, the specific aspects of platform quality influencing this perception diverged. In Finland, the platform’s comprehensiveness and security risk significantly impacted indispensability, while social interaction features played a negligible role. Conversely, in Korea, social interaction features significantly influenced indispensability, while platform comprehensiveness and security risk were non-significant. These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of digital platform indispensability, shaped by the interaction of platform quality and usage patterns. The contextual variations highlighted by our cross-country comparison suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach to platform regulation or user education may be ineffective. Future research should explore these cultural and platform-specific nuances to devise tailored policies.

“…A well-established finding has been that girls do better than boys on CIL tests and that students from families with high socioeconomic status have better CIL results than students with low socioeconomic status [67]. On the other hand, studies have found positive results from using computer-assisted technology to teach skills to students with specific learning disabilities [68].…”

Conditions Contributing to Positive and Negative Outcomes of Children’s ICT Use: Protocol for a Scoping Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Children and young people are often labelled the “digital generation”, naturally equipped with the skills to reap the benefits of digitised education, working life and communication through social media now and in the future. However, this age group’s use of information and communication technology (ICT) is not uniform, nor are the outcomes of their adaption to ICT. Shaped by their social environment and socioeconomic conditions, the potential benefits of children’s and young people’s ICT use may vary greatly, contributing to increased inequalities that exacerbate vulnerability for some while promoting health and well-being for others. This paper presents a protocol for conceptualising, systematically identifying and synthesising the literature on which conditions contribute to children and young people being negatively or positively impacted by their use of ICT. Here, children and young people are seen as social actors in four domains of their everyday lives illustrated through the digital ecosystem: family, leisure, education and civic participation. This protocol’s overview of the actors’ navigation within and across the different domains and potential for studying the interactions between the different spheres of the ecosystem may advance the understanding of both the risks and benefits facing children and young people in their digital lives.
