*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The transition to Content and Curricula based Education to the
Competence based ones is a challenge and, at the same time, an
opportunity for the entire world to promote sustainable development and
lifestyles together with “human rights, gender equality, the culture of
peace and nonviolence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural
diversity”.
To fully grasp such opportunity, national and regional governments need
to renew educational practices to promote key competences beyond the
curricular ones and equip the students not only with digital skills but
with a full set of life skills to make them grow as responsible citizens
capable to contribute to societal wellbeing, to the safeguard of the
democracy and the achievements of the SDGs, taking advantage also of the
ICT infrastructures.
Not by chance, in the last years, major training agencies and regulatory
documents at EU and at international level have been pushing in this
direction.
For example, the European Commission, in collaboration with
international experts, has developed frameworks to set a common language
to describe the key competences (DigComp 2.2., EntreComp, LifeComp,
DigCompOrg, DigCompEdu and GreenComp) and has developed tools to further
empower education stakeholders to foster digital competences at school
(SELFIE and SELFIEforTEACHERS) with more or less incisive repercussions
on national policies.
This special issue intends to promote reflections and studies on
visions, frameworks and key enabling factors to make competence based
education effective and inclusive to achieve the aforementioned goals.
How can the implementation of competence-based education be supported?
What are the enablers and challenges for such education? How can
targeted research and exchange of knowledge contribute to advance
competence-based education? How can competence frameworks inform policy
monitoring and policy making? How can we intercept the requests for a
real transformation of educational practices in a cultural and
constructivist perspective? How is possible to fully exploit the
potential of digital technologies to support the development of life
skills? What are the appropriate contents and methods to train teachers
for a full implementation of competence based learning? How should
competences be recognized and certified? How can the impact and
effectiveness of competenciesframeworks be measured?
