USING CDIO METHODOLOGY TO INTEGRATE DIGITAL COMPETENCIES IN TEACHER TRAINING

This paper will point out that the CDIO principles and methodology can be used in another area then engineering education. CDIO has been used as a role model, in the LIKA-project for curricula development in teacher‟s education programs at four universities in Sweden. The objective with the LIKA-project is to integrate digital competencies in all teachers‟ education programs. The LIKA project looks upon digital competencies as processes for Learning, Information, Communication and Administration (LICA/LIKA). These processes need to be addressed from a didactical, technical and theoretical perspective. To assure the success of curricula development 10 key principles, like the ones outlined by CDIO, where accepted and signed by leaders of the participating university organisations. The experiences from the LIKA project could also be used as a feed-back to the CDIO community.
