Summary: The study revealed that university students have positive perceptions of digital competencies in terms of information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, and safety. However, there were significant differences in students' self-perceptions of digital competence related to gender, grade level, area of residence, and prior relevant training. It is important to promote the development of key competency areas for digital competence and provide training related to the use of ICT to support students in gaining knowledge and skills in dealing with everyday technological issues.

Summary: This study found socioeconomic and gender disparities in motor competence among 6-12-year-old children, with girls displaying lower competence in agility and coordination while boys scored lower in balance and hand-foot coordination. Children in high SES schools showed the highest level of motor competence, and odds of having low competence in different aspects were higher for children in low and middle SES schools compared to high SES schools. Efforts should be made to address these disparities through school-based interventions proportionate to SES.

Summary: This study examines teachers' perceived value of ICT training and how they developed their awareness of affordances in the pedagogical practice of ICT. NGOs stepped in to complement the generic government teacher training and provided ICT training along with computer lab. The findings show that goal-oriented ICT training offers teachers the capability of recognizing the potential of training and actualizing knowledge of affordances into practices.

Summary: This study conducted two meta-analyses to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and academic achievement, and discovered interesting findings. The study found moderate correlations between SES and academic achievement globally, with the relationship strengthening in recent years. Additionally, factors such as GDP and economic equality did not impact this relationship, and expanding educational opportunities and prolonging compulsory education did not weaken this relationship.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the influence of variables such as gender, age, and academic degree on the acquisition of digital competence by pre-service educators. A quantitative methodology was utilized, along with inferential analysis through nonparametric tests and ROC curves. The results indicated that these three variables have some influence on digital competency acquisition, although they are not decisive factors.

Summary: Although the importance of digital competence for primary school students is widely recognized, there is limited empirical research on the assessment of their digital competences. This systematic review examines 14 studies on the assessment of primary school students' digital competences. The results show that the evaluated competences mainly focus on information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, and creation of digital content, with less attention given to safely and responsible use and problem solving. The assessment instruments primarily measure skills, while knowledge and attitudes are underrepresented. There is also poor reporting of the psychometric properties of the tests.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using learning analytics to support students' autonomy and competence needs in a blended learning environment. The findings show that teachers' adaptation based on learning analytics positively influences students' satisfaction with the adapted learning environment. However, students' basic psychological needs vary depending on the face-to-face workshop subject. The study emphasizes the importance of thoughtful blended learning course design and provides recommendations for effective learning analytics utilization in university settings.

Summary: Computational thinking is essential in the current era and learning programming is the most effective way to develop it. Introducing computational thinking and programming at an early age is recommended. Graphic organizers serve as a bridge between students' existing knowledge and new learning, enhancing their learning process. The study found that using graphic organizers improved elementary school students' computational thinking, programming skills, and learning experiences.

Summary: This article introduces a shortened version of the European Commission's SELFIE tool for measuring the digital capacity of schools. Two shorter measurement instruments, called midi-SELFIE and mini-SELFIE, are proposed based on the original tool. The validity and uses of these shortened versions are explored through various cases and compared to the complete instrument. The results suggest that the shortened versions of SELFIE are reliable alternatives for specific purposes.
