This article presents the successive changes and evolution of the frameworks for 21st century competencies, since the appearance of the first conceptual models during the final years of the last century, and also it is a review of the competencies that are needed in the 21st century with a special focus on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) competencies. The included frameworks have been elaborated by diverse institutions such as international organizations, private consortia and also governments as a guideline for educational policies in elementary and secondary schools. Later, the frameworks are compared and analyzed according to a classification of the competencies into general categories, in order to visualize some trends and obtain some insights about the direction they are heading. Finally, it provides some suggestions for the conception of future frameworks.

The Internet of Thing has been identified as one of the emerging technologies in IT. It interconnects and integrates large numbers of digital and physical entities by capability of appropriate information and communication technologies, to enable building enormous useful and unimaginable services and applications. However, building new IoT services or applications is a fastidious task since it is faced to several challenges such as interoperability, context-awareness, discovery, availability, decision-making. In this article, the authors are interested in coordination challenges that are still open despite the efforts of international organizations and scientific research groups. In fact, the authors outline a recent literature review of existing IoT coordination approaches. In the literature, researchers tend to use orchestration or choreography as a way to meet this challenge. A classification and the vision on this topic are presented. The authors propose an approach that is more likely to respond to the co-ordination challenge.

Las tendencias nacionales e internacionales en la educación técnica se ha convertido en una poderosa herramienta para que muchas poblaciones mejoren sus capacidades y conocimientos en el tema de las tecnologías y aseguren mejores oportunidades para acceder al mercado laboral  e incluso a desarrollar su propio emprendimiento. Esta tendencia ha sido promovida por organismos internacionales como la ONU, así como por empresas nacionales que por medio de sus Cámaras ha propiciado la búsqueda de oportunidades de capacitación para los jóvenes de diferentes regiones, una de ellas, la Cámara de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación(CAMTIC). El área de comunicación y tecnología de la Dirección de Extensión en la UNED ha dado respuesta a este llamado, ofreciendo cursos y programas que preparan a la población para enfrentar ese cambio tecnológico que las empresas viven día a día y que les hace requerir personal calificado.  Estas iniciativas, en especial la del Técnico en Telemática y Seguridad Informática, desarrollado en la Región del Pacifico Central, han tenido una gran acogida por la población que no solo considera el proyecto como una oportunidad para su desarrollo sino también para el mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de la región. AbstractNational and international trends in technical education has become a powerful tool for many people improve their skills and knowledge in the field of technology and ensure better opportunities to enter the labor market and even develop their own business.  This trend has been promoted by international organizations like the ONU, as well as national companies through their Chambers has led the search for training opportunities for young people from different regions, one of which, the Chamber of Information and Communication Technologies (CAMTIC).  The area of communication and technology form the Extension Department at UNED has responded to this call by offering courses and programs that prepare people to face this technological change that companies live day to day and that makes them require qualified personnel.  These initiatives, in particular the Technical Telematics and Security, developed in the Pacific Region Central, have been welcomed by the population that considers not only the project as an opportunity for development but also for the improvement  conditions of life in the region.Key words: Technical education, entrepreneurship, continuing education

The current stage in the development of the world community is characterized by high rates of development of digital technologies and their practical implementation in many areas of life. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the system for monitoring for the development of the information society and the digital economy, both in the Russian Federation and abroad. The role of international organizations in creating methodological foundations for the study of the implementation of information technology has been revealed in the article. The chronology of the development and implementation of the main regulatory documents, on the basis of which data is being collected on countries and their comparison, has been considered. Particular attention to the study of Russia’s place in the ratings compiled by various international organizations has been paid. A system of indicators of a national system for monitoring the development of the digital economy has been adduced, which reflects the development factors of the information society and the use of information and communication technologies. The dynamics of the gross value added of the ICT sector of the Russian economy and the number of people employed in the information and communication technologies sector have been analysed. Significant variability in the intensity of the dynamics indicators, reflecting various aspects of the development of the information society, as well as a significant lag of Russia from the leading countries in certain areas of the ICT sector, have been identified. It has been shown that the key task aimed at correcting this situation is to improve the investment climate in the information and communication technologies sector. At the same time, the imperfection of the methodology for monitoring the development of the information society and the digital economy does not allow us to take timely measures to regulate digitalization processes. It has been concluded that it is necessary to continue work on improving indicators for monitoring the implementation of the government program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”.

This study examines the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and innovation on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) export likelihood using a two-stage instrumental variable logistic estimator in 6,844 ASEAN SMEs. Adopting ICT technologies allows SMEs to overcome the constraints faced when exporting, while innovation allows SMEs to gain a competitive advantage. Meanwhile, the ASEAN economies are committed toward regional integration and have implemented policies to develop the SME and ICT sector. Results indicate that both ICT technologies and innovation contribute positively to export likelihood, albeit the magnitude of ICT technologies on export likelihood is greater. Furthermore, the results show that ICT technologies can overcome the constraints faced by marginalized businesses in terms of exporting, and can also enhance export likelihood in the manufacturing industry. Policy implications are discussed.
