2. INTRODUCTION
The digital era has influenced education and students of the present generation with technology and instructional
methods for digital learning .
Therefore, the responsibility to instil skills for building digital competence in students lies on the teachers. The
paper "Digital resources as an aspect of teacher professional digital competence:
One term, different definitions – a systematic review", published in Education and Information Technologies, 2022,
identifies several different definitions of digital resources as an aspect of a teacher's professional digital
competence. These definitions are as follows:

4. Digital resources as tools: This definition views digital resources as tools teachers can use to support
teaching and learning.
Digital resources as content: This definition views digital resources as digital content teachers can
use to support teaching and learning. Examples of digital resources in this context include e-learning
aids like e-books, online articles, and multimedia resources such as videos and images.
Digital resources as communication channels: This definition views digital resources as
communication channels teachers can use to interact with students, parents, and other stakeholders.
Examples of digital resources in this context include email, social network platforms, and online
discussion forums.

5. Digital resources as sources of information: This definition views digital resources as
information sources teachers can use to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in
their field
Digital resources as data sources: This definition views digital resources as data
sources teachers can use to inform their practice
The paper "Digital resources as an aspect of teacher professional digital competence: One term,
different definitions – a systematic review", published in Education and Information Technologies, 2022,
identifies several different models and frameworks that can be used to understand and develop
teachers' professional digital competence regarding digital resources. These models and frameworks
are as follows:

6. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
framework: This framework emphasises the importance of
teachers' knowledge of the interactions between technology,
pedagogy, and content. It suggests that effective use of digital
resources requires teachers to deeply understand how Engineering
& technology can enhance teaching and learning in specific subject
areas.
The Digital Competence Framework for Educators
(DigCompEdu): This framework provides a set of competencies
teachers should possess to use digital resources effectively in their
teaching practice.

7. The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework: This framework
emphasises the importance of social presence, cognitive
presence, and teaching presence in online learning
environments.
The SAMR model: This model provides a framework for
understanding the different levels of technology integration in
teaching and learning.
The 5Es model: This model provides a framework for designing
and delivering engaging and practical science lessons.
