Recognition of informal ICT competence

Abstract

This study of an initiative for recognising ICT competence is situated in a framework of formal training at upper secondary level. Specific assessment methods were used, but the classification of knowledge and the criteria for assessment were those used in formal training. Thus, there is a risk of excluding individual competence not included in the formal framework. The study also raises the question of whether recognition of prior learning should be a separate or an integrated part of the curriculum.
