Covid-19 kot katalizator digitalne kompetentnosti v visokošolskem izobraževanju držav nekdanje Jugoslavije
Povzetek
Pandemija covida-19 je znatno pospešila digitalno preobrazbo v izobraževanju. Tradicionalno učenje iz oči v oči je bilo hitro nadomeščeno z e-učenjem, kar je poudarilo nujno potrebo po digitalnih kompetencah izobraževalcev in študentov. Ta članek kaže, kako je pandemija delovala kot katalizator za razvoj digitalnih kompetenc v izobraževanju v državah nekdanje Jugoslavije. Raziskuje izzive in priložnosti, ki jih je prinesel prehod na e-učenje med pandemijo, ter ocenjuje dolgoročne posledice tega prehoda. Da bi izmerili izkušnje z digitalnimi učnimi orodji in platformami, smo v Bosni in Hercegovini, na Hrvaškem, v Severni Makedoniji, Črni gori in v Sloveniji prek spleta anketirali 424 izobraževalcev in 1.549 študentov. Analizirali smo tudi statistične podatke o stopnji sprejetosti e-učenja in tehnološkem napredku v izobraževanju. Podatki kažejo na opazno povečanje digitalnih kompetenc med izobraževalci in študenti, hkrati pa razkrivajo vztrajne vrzeli v digitalni kompetentnosti. Največje izboljšave so bile opazne v digitalno manj razvitih državah, v katerih je imela ključno vlogo uporaba brezplačne programske opreme. Za zagotovitev trajnostne in učinkovite rabe tehnologij v izobraževanju bo treba v izobraževalne programe vključiti tudi usposabljanje na področju digitalne kompetentnosti. Študija poudarja pomen institucionalnih vlaganj v digitalno usposabljanje in infrastrukturo za podporo dolgoročnih strategij digitalnega učenja ter prikazuje prednosti in omejitve hitre digitalne transformacije v kriznem obdobju.
