Education Digital transformation is one of the strategic priorities for the Ministry of Education and Science in Ukraine, as well as for the Ministry of Digital Transformation. The Ministry of Education and Science in Ukraine is currently developing the Concept Paper of Education Digital Transformation and implements several key national projects for enhancing application of modern and innovative education technologies at all levels of education.
SELFIE is an initiative of the European Commission that aims to support the innovative use of digital technologies in teaching and learning in primary, secondary general and vocational schools, as well as development of digital competences of learners. SELFIE guides schools in a self-reflection process involving school leaders, teachers and students on how they could integrate and effectively use digital technologies for teaching and learning. The SELFIE questionnaire explores a set of areas, including Leadership, Infrastructure and equipment, Continuing Professional Development, professional Communication and Collaboration, Teaching and Learning, Assessment Practices and the Digital Competence of Students.
The SELFIE project in Ukraine was launched in April 2021 in 90 schools (60 K12 schools and 30 VET schools) to pilot and enable the school's self-assessment and further strategic planning of use of digital technology in education processes. The Pilot outcomes have been analysed, at school and system level, there were developed the recommendations on how SELFIE tool could be (ì) effectively used in schools and (ii) scaled up and integrated in the national education system, as well as on the school level.
Results are presented in the Final SELFIE Pilot report. At system level, SELFIE offers, through anonymous, aggregated data, an overview of the digital readiness of three educational systems in Ukraine - General, VET and Special Pre-Higher education.
The objectives of this dissemination online event are:
- To inform on progress of the SELFIE project in Europe and the pilot in Ukraine
- To discuss the findings from SELFIE pilot in Ukraine with the involved stakeholders
- To discuss the further implementation of SELFIE in Ukraine
Participants will include national and regional stakeholders involved in the project, primarily from the Ministries of Education and Science and Digital Transformation, educational regional authorities, representatives of In-Service Teacher Training Institutions and Regional VET Methodological Centers, together with school managers and coordinators involved in the pilot and the newcomers; students will be also invited to the meeting. The event will be designed in a participatory format in order to facilitate engaging discussion with the participants and receive insights on the pilot’s outcomes and the possible ways forward.
This event and the subsequent results of pilot of SELFIE will inform national and regional policymakers for a broader/system-wide view of SELFIE within national education and training systems.
The event will be in Ukrainian/English with simultaneous interpretation and will be web streamed.
