Description: Uses and critically evaluates digital learning tools (LMS, coding platforms, auto-graders, online judges, virtual labs, collaborative tools) to support learning.
10. Problem/Project/Practice-Based Learning in Software and Systems Development
Description: Designs, facilitates and assesses projects that involve realistic software and system development tasks, including teamwork, version control, testing and deployment.
11. Learning Outcomes Assessment
Description: Develops assessments that go beyond code correctness to measure design quality, maintainability, documentation, testing, collaboration and professional behaviours.
12. Curriculum Design
Description: Contributes to curriculum design and review, ensuring coherent progression from basic computing concepts to advanced topics and integration of practice, ethics and specialisations.
13. Integration of Emerging Technologies and Paradigms
Description: Critically integrates new paradigms (e.g. AI/ML, cloud-native, microservices, edge computing) into curricula without sacrificing foundational knowledge.
14. Lifelong Learning and Technology Updating
Description: Models and promotes continual updating of tools, languages, frameworks and conceptual understanding, emphasising meta-skills for independent learning.
B. Research competences (6)
15. ICT and/or Computing Research Production
Description: Conducts and disseminates research in computer science, software engineering, data science, cybersecurity or related ICT fields and/or in computing education research.
16. Participation in Research, Development and Innovation Projects
Description: Participates in or leads R&D projects, often in collaboration with industry, public sector or interdisciplinary teams, producing prototypes, tools or services.
17. Methodological and Epistemological Competence in ICT
Description: Demonstrates understanding of methods in ICT research (e.g. empirical software engineering, experimental evaluation, formal methods, human-centred design, data-driven methods) and their limitations.
18. Technical and Research Communication
Description: Communicates technical and research content clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, using appropriate documentation, visualisations and demonstrations.
19. Research Training and Supervision
Description: Supervises student research projects, theses and dissertations involving software, systems, data and/or ICT education, ensuring rigour, ethics, reproducibility and responsible innovation.
20. Critical and Creative Technological Thinking
Description: Encourages students to think critically about technology assumptions and creatively about alternative designs and architectures.
C. Management and motivation competences (5)
21. Academic and Technical Infrastructure Management
Description: Manages ICT-specific infrastructure (labs, servers, cloud accounts, repositories, licences, access rights) efficiently and securely, in line with institutional policies.
22. Leadership and Team Coordination
Description: Leads and coordinates teams of educators, developers, technicians and students in labs, project courses, innovation hubs or centres.
23. Motivation and Student Engagement
Description: Applies strategies to maintain student engagement in the face of debugging frustrations, steep learning curves and perceived failure in programming and projects.
24. Institutional and Ecosystem Engagement
Description: Engages with institutional initiatives and external ecosystems (industry alliances, tech communities, open-source projects, incubators) to create opportunities for students and colleagues.
25. Professional Motivation and Commitment
Description: Demonstrates commitment to the profession of ICT education, participating in communities of practice, contributing to shared resources and continuously improving teaching.
