• Students’ Well-Being in Digital Learning Environments: A Multilevel Analysis of Sixth-Graders in Comprehensive Schools (2025) · Education Sciences · cited 2× · doi

  One challenge is the lack of structured and curricular-based integration of digital competence in schools. Another challenge is the underutilization of digital tools in classrooms, which are primarily used for basic tasks. The study also highlights the challenge of accurately measuring digital competence, given the discrepancy between adolescents' self-rated digital skills and objective assessments.

• Adaptation and psychometric validation of the DigComp 2.2-based perceptions questionnaire on digital competence among pre-service teachers in Ghana (2026) · Frontiers in Education · doi

  While this study offers empirical support for the adaptation and psychometric validation of the Perceptions Questionnaire on Digital Competence, based on DigComp 2.2, among Ghanaian pre-service teachers, some limitations remain. First, the instrument measures self-perceived digital skills rather than actual ability. Therefore, responses indicate how pre-service teachers view their digital competence rather than their real-world performance. As a result, the findings should be seen as evidence of perceived digital skills rather than evidence of actual digital performance. the scale’s for analysing Second, the study used a cross-sectional survey design, meaning data were collected at a single point in time. This approach was suitable factorial structure, reliability, construct validity, and measurement invariance across genders, but it does not allow tracking changes in digital competence over time.

• Digital competence development of social-interaction specialists within higher education (2026) · EDUWEB · doi

  Future research should focus on longitudinal studies examining long-term stability of digital competence development, multi-institutional comparative studies, and teacher digital interaction between student competence, analysis of competence, and institutional digital ecosystems. the Further research is also needed to investigate adaptive and AI-supported digital learning environments as tools for personalized competence development.
