European Framework for Digitally Competent Educational Organisations: systematic review 2015-2020

Abstract

The European Framework for Digitally Competent Educational Organisations (DigCompOrg) is the first pan-European model that guides educational institutions to digitize in a strategic way. The general objective of this research is to offer an overview of the scientific production that is based on this model and to identify the theoretical or practical focus of these studies. An exploratory study with a documentary analysis technique is presented, the method of which consists of a systematic review of the existing scientific literature published in relation to the DigCompOrg model from 2015 to 2020. For the search, the bibliometric databases Scopus, Web of Science and the scientific search engine Google Scholar were used. After eliminating duplications, a total of 231 works are analyzed, of which 28 make up the final sample after applying the eligibility criteria. The findings show that there is an annual increase in published works that refence the framework from the year of its appearance; however, few of them address it in their central approach. Its versatility in establishing a systemic self-assessment process stands out, although it could be adapted to the real educational context in which it is applied.
