Annex 8 - Scoring SAT results

Scoring for SAT answers, on which feedback to respondents was based, was calculated and communicated on

an area-by-area basis. Underlying to this, average scores of all the items belonging to an individual competence

were calculated for each competence, especially in order to identify those weaker competences , if any, that

respondents would be recommended to strengthen in the SAT feedback. Then, the competence area score was

calculated as the average score of all the items belonging to the competence area. The score intervals used

for the respondent feedback report in Pilot 2 were identified based on Pilot 1 results as follows: Low (0 -29%),

Foundation (30-47%), Intermediate (48-80%) and Advanced (81-100).

Feedback and recommendations to SAT users

As just mentioned, test-takers in Pilot 2 received a report file at the end of the SAT showing their results. The

screenshot below shows an extract of that file, called “Digital Competences SAT report”. All competences and

competence areas are covered in the report, with colour-coding indicating which competences the users should

focus upon with simple associated statements.

SAT users received feedback on their self-perceived digital proficiency level for all 5 areas according to the

following scale: Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced level. The level was calculated based on the scores

assigned to SAT answers and the threshold levels indicated before.

Visualising the 5 areas and 21 competences of DigComp as in the table above is important given that the SAT

is intended to offer an opportunity to its users to ma ke sense and become aware of digital competence from
