Digital Competences in the Iberian Context: An Evidence Study
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are essential to understand the recent economic, social, political and cultural transformations, with the State having an important role in providing appropriate and satisfactory access to the needs of modern society for all people without distinction of social class or level of education. Methodology. The literature indicates that Spain has a prominent position concerning digital competence in Europe. This article aims to deepen this evidence in the Iberian Peninsula, by taking in consideration several factors: (a) Digital Economy & Society Index (DESI) data; (b) the volume of scientific production on digital competence; (c) projects catalogued in DigComp into action; and (d) structures and actions to support digital competences, through quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. Results. Portugal has shown in recent years investment in the digitization process, but very close to the average of the Member-States, occupying the 15th position in the DESI. In contrast, Spain occupies the 7th position in DESI and the 13th in GDP per capita, with Spain presenting more favourable data about the other factors studied. Discussion. Several public policies and actions implemented by Spain certainly contribute to the country's result, which can be easily identified in the scientific production parameters and the DigComp into Action analysis. It was identified that Portugal was at the forefront in developing reference frameworks and certification of digital competences (2008); however, with a significant gap in implementing programs aimed at digital competences, the opposite movement was identified in Spain. Conclusion. The continuity of actions and programs may have been a promoter of the other evidence found, such as the most significant number of projects mapped in DigComp Into Action, having the 13th GDP per capita of the Member-States and being positioned in the 7th position of DESI.
