DIGCOMP Framework Overview
- The DIGCOMP framework consists of five areas of digital competence and 21 competences.
- Competences are detailed in three proficiency levels.
The Five Areas of Digital Competence
-
Information
- Identify, locate, retrieve, store, organize, and analyze digital information.
- Judge the relevance and purpose of digital information.
-
Communication
- Communicate in digital environments.
- Share resources through online tools, link with others, and collaborate through digital tools.
- Interact with and participate in communities and networks, with cross-cultural awareness.
-
Content Creation
- Create and edit new content (from word processing to images and video).
- Integrate and re-elaborate previous knowledge and content.
- Produce creative expressions, media outputs, and programming.
- Deal with and apply intellectual property rights and licenses.
-
Safety
- Personal protection, data protection, digital identity protection, and security measures.
- Safe and sustainable use.
-
Problem-Solving
- Identify digital needs and resources.
- Make informed decisions on most appropriate digital tools according to the purpose or need.
- Solve conceptual problems through digital means.
- Creatively use technologies, and solve technical problems.
- Update own and others' competence.
Framework Characteristics
- Presented in a tabular form, with a matrix of different dimensions.
- Each competence has examples of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and examples of how the competence can be applied for two different purposes (learning and employment).
- The five areas are of equal importance, but information, communication, and content creation are more linear, while safety and problem-solving are more transversal.
Competences and Levels
- Each area has its own specificity, with several overlapping points and cross-references to other areas.
- Competences in each area vary in number from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 6.
- Competences are numbered, but the progression does not refer to a different degree of attainment.
Implementation and Impact
- The framework has been used as support to policy in various instances, including curricula development and teacher professional development.
- It has been adopted as an input to Action 62: EU-wide indicators of digital competences of the Digital Agenda.
- It has been accepted as a framework for e-skills indicators in Eurostat's household survey.
