Guidelines for Supporting Teachers in Teaching Digital Literacy

A digital revolution caused an upswing of information and communication technology (ICT) and made digital literacy one of the key topics in future-oriented education. Digital literacy includes ICT basic skills, media awareness, information skills, and computational thinking. Large-scale implementation of teaching digital literacy is still not achieved. A platform named “Onderwijs2032” was established by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Ministerie van OCW) to redesign the curriculum for more future-oriented education. Stichting Leerplan Ontwikkeling (SLO) contributes to this curriculum change and also wants to support teachers to effectuate changes at the classroom level. This study aimed at defining evidence-informed design guidelines for supporting teachers in teaching digital literacy.
