Content analysis of digital competence in different legislative frameworks

Digital competence is one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and success in the knowledge society. It is defined as the critical and safe use of Information Society Technologies at work, and for leisure and communication purposes. The main objective of this study is to analyse the extent to which digital competence is considered  in  the  Primary  Education  curriculum  of  the  Basque  Country  Autonomous  Community,  comparing  practices in teacher training with the main educational reference frameworks for digital competence on the Euro-pean, national and local levels. For this purpose, a content analysis based on expert judgement has been carried out. The results of the study allow us to conclude that: the competence areas and the competences of the DigComp 2.1 and INTEF reference frameworks are practically identical; the knowledge areas of Primary Education contrib-ute  to  the  development  of  digital  competence;  not  all  the  competences  of  the  five  competence  areas  of  INTEF  model are considered in the decree 236/2015 of Basic Education of the Basque Country; and the evaluation crite-ria and achievement indicators of each of the knowledge areas of the Primary Education curriculum are included in decree 236/2015
