LUCAS, Margarida; BEM-HAJA, Pedro; MOREIRA, António  and  COSTA, Nilza. The impact of tablet use on the development of digital competence. OBS* [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.34-51. ISSN 1646-5954.  https://doi.org/10.15847/obsOBS13320191453.

This article presents results on the impact of the use of tablets in the development of lower secondary students' digital competence, regarding Information and data literacy and Communicaiton and collaboration, within the scope of a one-to-one (1:1) educational project. The case study adopted and adapted the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens as background and guidance for the construction of data collection instruments. The data were collected through a questionnaire and focus groups. Results suggest a reduced impact of the use of tablets on the development of competences under study and point to reasons that may be underlying it (for example, how tablets were used by the teachers). In this sense, the article suggests recommendations for a more efficient use of tablets and indicates directions for future research.

Keywords : DigComp; imapct; evaluation; digital literacy; information; communication; collaboration.
