PROJECT AIM
The project aim was to develop an item bank and methodology, and then pilot a self-assessment tool for digital competence for foundation, intermediate and advanced levels among individuals in 3 Member States of the European Union, based on Digital Competence Framework for Citizens 2.1.
The Item Bank
A self-assessment / self-reflection tool to:
- make users aware of what is digital competence in the DigComp perspective;
- highlight their strengths and weaknesses in different areas of digital competence;
- encourage further competence development, by providing useful feedback to be discussed with expert counsellors.
Tool should be easy to understand and self-administer by the user, in a reasonably short time.
COMPLETED KEY STAGES
- Developed methodology and draft Item Bank across all 21 competences of DigComp2.1.
- Validated and refined item bank with panel of experts during validation workshop in Brussels.
- Made a first test on the initial item bank among 150 individuals in Ireland.
- Participants: 16-65 years old, native English with preliminary expected digital skills level from foundation up to advanced users.
- Carried out psychometric and statistical analysis (including factor analysis) of results and refined item bank as necessary.
- Made a second test on the revised item bank among 400 individuals in Spain and Latvia (with localized languages) with same participant demographics.
- Carried out statistical analysis of reliability of second pilot results and refine item bank again as necessary.
- Produced final report of methodology and item bank (published during year 2020).
