“…If an instructor integrates digital competence into a course, analyzing the syllabus can help understand the instructor’s level of digital competence (Guillén-Gámez and Mayorga-Fernández 2020 ). Based on the digital competency framework (Mattar et al 2022 ) and the perspective of educational practice (Gower et al 1983 ; Richardson 1990 ), it is reasonable to assess the digital competency levels of teachers by analyzing their syllabi, and evaluating digital competence by identifying instructional media/tools and learning activities in a course related to the skill has been considered reasonable (Lucas et al 2021 ). For example, instructors may use software for direct instruction in the classroom, conduct computer-assisted instruction, implement educational games, use digital media for communication, or operate LMSs/platforms.…”

“…Because recent studies suggest that university instructors are responding to help future professionals adapt to industrial and job market changes in the digital age, the assessment of instructors' digital competencies requires more research attention (Antón-Sancho et al 2021 ; Sánchez-Cruzado et al 2021 ). Specifically, the literature using quantitative analysis is limited by the breadth of the questionnaire items, and the use of manual analysis methods is limited by manpower and time, highlighting the current need for more extensive and effective digital competency assessment solutions (Sillat et al 2021 ; Zhou 2021 ; Mattar et al 2022 ).…”

The explosion of COVID-19 has brought new challenges to the education industry, especially higher education. Digital competency is becoming an essential competency for higher education instructors, and how to assess instructors' digital competency is attracting increasing attention in higher education. However, most studies have used self-report questionnaires or manual reviews to assess digital competencies, which are time-consuming and potentially biased, and there is a current need for valid and effective assessment methods. To address this issue, this study uses machine learning to analyze syllabi to assess the extent to which university instructors have incorporated digital competency into their courses. The results show that not only is the proposed method feasible, but the results of the assessment using machine learning are highly consistent with those of the human assessment. This approach contributes to the assessment of digital competency in higher education institutions and provides evidence that can be used as a reference for future research on the development of digital competency in higher education institutions.

“…These scales are in the selfassessment category. Measurement tools using DigComp-related frameworks are usually multiple-choice format (Mattar, Ramos, & Lucas, 2022). This framework can be used for knowledge-based assessment and in the preparation and definition of authentic tasks for performance-based assessment (Alarcón, et al, 2020).…”

The competences expected from teachers are described in several international reports. An investigation of teacher competences has a potential to analyze and delineate the current situation. Assessment of any construct necessitates utilization of appropriate scales with established validity and reliability. Currently available validated digital competence scales have examined digital competences of citizens, teachers, students, but most are based on only one digital competence framework. In this study a valid, reliable, and comprehensive scale entitled “Teachers’ Digital Competence Scale” (TDiCoS) for teachers of different subjects has been obtained by relying on standards/policy reports from several countries. TDiCoS items measure teachers' self-assessment and report of their use of digital technologies in their classrooms. TDiCoS was validated on a sample of 288 in-service teachers. In the final form TDiCoS is unidimensional and composed of 19 items. The model fit criteria, factor loadings, internal validity, and reliability of TDiCoS were examined and found to be good. Hence, it can inform design of new policies and teacher professional development programs targeting digital competences.

“…Pour parvenir à évaluer les usages pédagogiques du numérique, plusieurs chercheuses et chercheurs ont développé des outils de collecte de données et se sont appuyés sur le modèle comme le Technology, Pedagogical, Content Knolwedge (TPACK) (Koehler et al, 2012;Schmidt et al, 2009), le référentiel de compétences DigComp (Mattar et al, 2022;Reisoğlu et Çebi, 2020) ou bien le modèle Will Skill Tool and Padagogy (WSTP) (Hancock et al, 2007;Knezek et Christensen, 2016). Les référentiels de compétences numériques ou de compétences du 21 e siècle comportent la plupart du temps des échelles de mesure, mais souvent, ils ne suffisent pas à rendre adéquatement compte de la complexité des usages pédagogiques du numérique en contexte éducatif, ou bien ils sont adaptés spécifiquement au contexte dans lequel ils sont destinés et donc difficilement transférables.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Le développement de la compétence numérique du personnel enseignant est un enjeu important pour s’assurer que le potentiel du numérique soit adéquatement opérationnalisé en contexte d’apprentissage. Pour ce faire, les usages pédagogiques du numérique par les enseignants doivent être évalués afin de mettre en place des stratégies qui répondront aux besoins des milieux. Dans cette perspective, cet article a pour objectif d’analyser le développement d’un outil d’autoévaluation des usages pédagogiques du numérique. Basé sur un cadrage conceptuel sur les processus cognitifs et les niveaux d’interaction, c’est avec l’approche méthodologique Design-Based Research que l’outil a été développé en collaboration avec le milieu scolaire.
