Digital Competence in the Training of Future Teachers of History and Civilizations – Reality and Prospects

The publication presents an analysis of the application of digital competencies in academic disciplines that are taught to students from the pedagogical profile of the Faculty of History of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski". By reviewing the regulatory framework and curricula in the above disciplines, the role of digital competence in the training of students, who are being prepared for teachers is deduced. Based on the European Digital Competence Framework DigCompEdu, an empirical study has been conducted, which reveals the skills for applying digital technologies by both teachers and students, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the possible prospects for the development of the digital transformation of modern education.
