Before the use of the term "digital competence" became pervasive in the literature and practice in Education, other terms were commonly used, such as digital literacy / literacy, technological skills (tech skills) or skills in information and communication technologies (ICT). Although distinct in their specificity, all these terminologies sought to alert to a common dimension: the need to consider carefully, seriously, productively and critically knowledge and skills associated with the proficient use of technological solutions which, increasingly ubiquitous, mediate contemporary social practices. A particularly important warning that the various nations have been stressing with increasing force and that the recent pandemic situation has made vociferous. In the educational context, several references have been addressing the issue, whether the ISTE (ISTE, 2023) Standards for students (1998; 2007; 2016) or ISTE Standards for teachers (2000; 2008; 2017) or the TPACK model (Koehler & Mishra 2009; Mishra & Koehler, 2006; 2008), which involve guidelines for incorporating technologies in the teaching and learning process, or the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT-CFT) (UNESCO, 2011; 2018) which, in turn, presents ICT competency standards for teachers.
