Secondary school students’ digital competence development: analysing the impact of the “EKI” educational resource

Abstract

This article analyses the development of secondary students’ digital competence by means of the education resource created by the association of Basque schools. The education resource, known as EKI Project, was developed together with the aimed exit profile as regards digital competence. The latter is based on the DIGCOMP framework and defines the level that students should achieve at the end of secondary education by using the designed material, EKI. A content analysis is being carried out with the educational resource in order to classify the different activities into the categories of the previously defined digital competence exit profile. The aim of the present study is to examine if the exit profile defined could be achieved by the activities proposed. The preliminary results show that some specific areas of the digital competence defined by the exit profile are more developed than others. Further research must be carried out, in order to ensure that the main question is answered.
