Children’s digital competence (DC) is often poorly supported in early childhood education (ECE). Furthermore, common definition of DC is difficult to find. Therefore, the aim of this comparative curriculum study was to better understand how objectives and content of DC are defined in ECE. Australia and Finland curricula were analyzed applying theory-driven content analysis. The results indicated that in both countries theoretical basis of DC was present: objectives and content of DC referred to (1) technical skills and practices, (2) applying digital technologies, (3) evaluate digital technologies critically, and (4) motivation to participate in a digital culture. However, aims, content, and practical guidelines on the curricula were unclear. This study recommends that ECE curricula should better emphasis and make explicit the key elements of DC and how to holistically foster children’s DC in practice. Further studies to clarify the important elements of DC in ECE curricula frameworks is required.

“…The digital world defines a new model of interaction between a child, his/her family and relatives, friends, schools and teachers, and the environment. Each of these relationships must be examined and studied, thereby identifying the essential features relevant to upbringing in the digital era (Fox & Diezmann, 2017). These interactions play a fundamental role in regulating the flow of information, and in monitoring and assisting in information management from a very young age.…”

In our article, we refer to the interrelation between upbringing and education, within the context of an emerging paradigm of upbringing as a new construct. First we discuss upbringing in the digital era. Then, we state the main concerns involving this theme, which we label as key challenges for upbringing in the digital world. This is followed by the main challenges for upbringing in the digital era: an ecological (environmental) challenge, an intergenerational and intercultural challenge, the challenge of creating an educational continuum, and the challenge of upbringing digital citizens as informed adults, as well as possible ways of tackling these challenges. Finally, we suggest recommendations to policymakers, researchers and practitioners for each of the challenges and end with some conclusions on this theme.
