It competence and digital literacy

Abstract

This research article assumes that the teacher's ability to transmit to the child the necessary for his later life knowledge, skills independent cognition and development, and most importantly, attitudes towards this development are based on two prerequisites: • digital literacy of a teacher; • his professional ICT competencies. Like a person of any other profession, the teacher must have digital literacy, that is, the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for life in a digital society. Already today in developed countries without the proper level of digital literacy becomes impossible by itself the fact that a person is employed, including a teacher, not to mention that digital literacy is the foundation for the development of professional ICT competencies.
