Transformative digitale Kompetenzen
Abstract
The contemporary educational policy discourse on digital competence development – especially in the face of rapid AI developments – has placed substantial attention on mastering the digital transformation of society throughout the continent. In the European Union, numerous initiatives have been shaping this approach towards the “green and digital transition” (European Commission Joint Research Centre, 2022), formulating digital competence requirements in the Digital Education Action Plan (European Commission, 2020), and are accompanied by monitoring in the European Skills and Jobs Survey (CEDEFOP, 2022), amongst many others. We use this supranational policy context as a starting point for discussing the relations between digital competence, critical thinking and creativity in contemporary Higher Education, as policy not only shapes practice but is also co-shaped by it.
