TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL SKILLS IN GENERAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the curricula in computer science subjects in the countries with traditions in the field and the experience of the Republic of Moldova, it is argued the need to further promote the curricular reform in general education. It is proposed to re-conceptualize the current and summative assessment methods in computer science disciplines by basing them on the evaluation of digital products developed by students: documents and electronic presentations, Web documents, computer programs, simulation models. It is recommended that the assessment itself be conducted in a digital environment, giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills directly on the computer.
