Abstract

Digital competence is a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes to ensure the critical and creative use of ICT and digital media. DigCompEdu describes a set of digital competencies for teachers, aiming to structure existing perceptions and evidence into a comprehensive model, applicable to all educational contexts. The teaching of programming and systems modeling is common to several undergraduate courses related to computing, requiring students to practice, update and use digital technologies. The objective of this research is to study DigCompEdu and analyze the digital competences of computing professors with a focus on programming and systems modeling. As preliminary results, a consultation with computing professors was conducted and it was noticed there is interest in the assessment of digital competences.
