A Multidimensional Perspective on Digital Competence, Curriculum and Teacher Training in Italy. A Scoping Review on Prospective and Novice Teachers

The study, here described, approaches the analysis of selected sources in a scoping review for mapping the key aspects related to digital competence, at national level, in the chosen research area and target audience, that is, pre-service teachers, including novice faculty members. The review process is supported by providing a brief overview of the Italian initiatives in the lens of European reference frameworks and a focus on training paths and profiles of prospective teachers in Italy. The specificities of the above-mentioned aspects can, in fact, facilitate the discussion of data and the collection of inputs for future research. The review highlights some of the existing gaps in the literature due to the difficulty in selecting a broad range of studies focussed specifically on assessment and shows that a common trend, in the selected studies, is the clear connection both theoretically and empirically to a cross analysis with European initiatives and tools, including for self-assessment inclination.
