About the project

The project is part of the EDUCATE-project, which researches the evaluation of the new subject curriculum in subjects. The project aims to research how these concepts are operationalised within and across selected subjects (e.g., English and social science) in general and vocational studies programmes. The concepts of life skills and digital responsibility will be identified, and the protentional overlap between them will be researched, which will be referred to as "digital life skills".

The theoretical foundation will be connected to life skills and digital judgement, in addition to other relevant research.
