Sobre o projeto*
Abstract: The call for making better use of digital technologies for teaching and learning is not new and despite multiple initiatives and efforts to respond to it, impact has been little evident. The disruption caused by the pandemic exacerbated this call and caught education and training systems by surprise. On the one hand, it unveiled their unpreparedness to shift into new kinds of flexible (blended/online) teaching and learning practices that could meet emergent needs. On the other, it amplified teachers’ needs to develop their digital competence, i.e. to use digital technologies effectively to support students’ learning, inclusion and development. Building on the researchers’ studies and activities the proposed plan aims to provide flexible paths for developing teachers’ digital competence following a competency-based approach, integrating blended and online elements, and aligned with international frameworks. The plan wishes to capitalize on the researchers’ established collaborative networks to i) implement the approach in Portugal and extend it to other Portuguese speaking countries through the reinforcement of international cooperation; ii) develop an experimental assessment method based on competence demonstration. The plan combines qualitative and quantitative methods and seeks to privilege intercultural research equity and fairness, as well as collaboration among partners from different countries.
