Digital society - Survey of Adult Skills ● Problem solving in technology-rich environments is defined as the ability to use digital technology,
communication tools and networks to acquire and evaluate information, communicate with others and
perform practical tasks. The survey assesses adults' ability to solve problems by establishing appropriate
goals and plans, and accessing and using information through computers and computer networks.In nearly all
countries, at least 10% of adults have trouble using digital technology, communication tools and networks to
acquire and evaluate information, communicate with others and perform practical tasks.
● As expected, in all countries, 16-24 year-olds have higher average proficiency in this domain than does the
adult population as a whole. However, in some countries, such as the USA, Poland, Ireland and
England/Northern Ireland (UK), there are surprisingly small proportions of young adults who can solve more
complex problems using computers, those tasks at proficiency Level 2 or 3. By contrast, a relatively large
proportion of young adults in the Nordic countries, Korea and the Netherlands perform at the highest level of
proficiency (Level 3) in problem solving in technology-rich environments. (PIACC)
How changes in the context of the 21 st century effects into vocational education and teacher training?
In Denmark, only 7.8% of the adult population (16-65 year-olds) report no prior experience with computers or lack very basic computer skills. In contrast, 39% of the adult population score at the highest levels in problem solving in technology-rich environments, a proportion significantly above the average of the OECD countries participating in the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC)
In Finland, only 8.7% of the adult population (16-65 year-olds) report no prior experience with computers or lack very basic computer skills. In contrast, 42% of the adult population score at the highest levels in problem solving in technology-rich environments, a proportion significantly above the average of the OECD countries participating in the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC).
It is said that in the future, work will be more transparent than today. Studies indicate that willingness to exchange vocational information is increased by the valuable information and social capital obtained from one's peers, and the fact that these vocational communities have facilitated the joint production and creation of information.
eSkills, digital skills,...
• Integrate eSkills/digital skills into your everyday teaching with your classes will help to equip your students with the skills that they will need for their future careers
• Yet ICT related employment is much, much higher that just the ICT sector, as digital skills are needed throughout the workforce.
• Previously eSkills was viewed as a specialist area• eSkills are now viewed as an essential competence.
• When will skills in using the social media be part of the vocational competence required in the labour market?
Digitally ready?
• What does it mean?• Digitally literate?
• the answer may change monthly• Literates of this century are those who are
• familiar with digital media• understand the culture• can fully harness digital tools to their bidding
More and more have been asking what to do with the digital divide? Source: Wheeler 2015
The European Union’s concern for the basic training for Information Society has also brought together experts and policymakers to consider “digital competence” as one of the eight key competences that young people should have developed by the end of initial education and training to a level that equips them for adult life.
Teaching and learning environments“As technology integration continues to increase in our society, it is paramount that teachers possess the skills and behaviors of digital age professionals. Moving forward, teachers must become comfortable being co-learners with their students and colleagues around the world.”
Case “Dialogical, authentic and pocket sized learning”
• Raise awareness of the positive use and outcomes of mobile technologies in vocational learning
• Drawn attention to the pedagogy• Introduce methodologies and best
practices for the integration of mobile technologies in education
• Inform and motivate VET schools to implement useful and effective policies
• Promote the responsible usage of mobile devices in education
