Digital competence: DigCompEdu Check-In as a digital literacy diagnostic tool to support teacher training

This article aims to analyze the self-perceived digital skills of 15 Portuguese and English teachers in the public education network in the State of Parana, in Brazil, using a quantitative methodological approach to data collection and analysis. A diagnosis of the digital skills of educators was carried out through the Check-In tool, and then specific training was offered in order to overcome their difficulties by developing digital skills with a higher level of fragility in the area of learning assessment. To understand whether this competence and the other competences improved after the training was completed, the Check-In diagnostic tool was applied again. The results reveal that educators are still exploring the potential of technology, especially in the area of assessment, showing low levels in this digital competence, and it was verified that after training there were improvements in these specific competences and also in the global level of competence.
