Developing awareness of digital competence and skills through dialogue – a methodological reflection

• Great expectations have been placed on information and communication technology (ICT) to change and improve education. In research and evaluations, the picture seems to be of expectations not yet realized. To be able to change practice in the area of ICT in education, one key issue often put forward is teachers’ professional development (TPD). This paper investigates an alternative way of stimulating TPD in the area of ICT in education by building on ideas of formative intervention. The aim of this paper is to present an interview model used in a research project as a tool to develop awareness of digital competence and skills among upper secondary school teachers and discuss this as a model for TPD in the area of ICT. Furthermore, the aim is to present early results from an analysis of teacher interviews using the model and discuss the limitations and possible strengths of this model in relation to other models of formative intervention research and change in practice.
