Chapter 2. INITIAL ITEM BANK CREATION

KEY CHALLENGES

STEPS

1. Analysis of the main

subcomponents/topics of

DigComp’s 21 competences

identified 48 main topics

classified the 48 main topics by type (knowledge, skills, attitude)

2. Preparation of self-

assessment statements and

answering options

looked at existing sources (mostly based on the DigComp framework) for inspiration

created SA statements (ex-novo, re-using and/or adapting sources

Developing self-assessment

(SA) tool for people interested in

an employability perspective

Identifying the appropriate

vocabulary, syntactic and

composition rules to meet the

SA statements’ intended ‘quality’

criteria

Guaranteeing usability of the

test in different contexts and

limiting its obsolescence

Developing SA statements that

should cover the knowledge, skills

and attitude elements of each

DigComp competence

Developing SA statements that

should reflect the three main

macro-proficiency levels:

foundation, intermediate and

advanced

Defining effective

and standardized answering
