Digital and inclusive pedagogical competences of educators

Abstract

Teacher training focuses on generic technologies such as the European framework DigCompEdu, but special education students face them without being inclusive or adapted. DIPCE seeks to design inclusive learning activities where scientific and professional disciplines (pedagogy and didactics of the subject) and inclusive practices are added into a coherent whole. It was based on a selection of European countries by geographical location and a descriptive investigation taking samples from more than 8 educational centers and more than 50 teachers from each partner country. A model has been developed to incorporate digital resources and novel pedagogical approaches into teaching practices. A set of tools is being compiled that offers the means to create accessible and inclusive digital learning content to implement digital education practices. The results on how to transform conventional lessons to their digital format are being well received by teachers.
