Abstract:

This article analyzes the contribution of three continuous professional development sessions for the improvement of teachers' digital competence. The contribution was measured using a pre- and post-test. It uses the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) as a guiding document and the DigCompEdu Check-In questionnaire as a self-assessment tool. The results show that the contribution was positive, with proficiency levels improving in all competences and competence areas explored during the sessions. Implications are discussed.
