Digital Competence Self-Assessment Among Students of Teacher
Education Programmes at the University of Primorska
The self-assessment of digital competence among students, future teachers,
has been gaining increasing attention, particularly in the context of improv-
ing the quality of education and meeting the demands of the teaching profes-
sion. A key component of teacher education today involves fostering digital
competences, which encompass not only technical skills but also the ability
to effectively integrate these skills into pedagogical practice. Using a ques-
tionnaire structured around the areas of digital competence defined in the
DigiComp 2.1 framework, we examined how students enrolled in teacher ed-
ucation programmes at the University of Primorska evaluate their own digital
competences. The analysis revealed that students rated themselves highest
in the areas of information and data literacy, as well as communication and
collaboration, while they rated themselves lowest in digital content creation
and safety. No significant differences were found between undergraduate and
graduate students in the overall self-assessment of digital competence, with
the exception of information and data literacy, where graduate students re-
ported higher self-ratings. It is essential that future teachers are trained for
pedagogical work that systematically develops both their own digital com-
petences and those of their students, as only in this way can schools prepare
young people for active, critical, and responsible participation in society of the
future.
