The Relationship

Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, ICT has been urgently introduced in education systems in a generalised manner. In this context, it is essential for teachers to master a spectrum of basic digital competencies and manifest digital leadership in the classroom. In addition, it is necessary to consider the relationship between digital competence development and social sustainability, that is, social and cultural heritage, and to what extent they contribute to improving social cohesion and living conditions in a community. This study presents a systematic review of research on teacher digital competence and social sustainability based on the PRISMA model and a review of 22 studies indexed in SCOPUS. The review reveals that most are intended to measure the digital competence level of teachers, usually in compulsory stages of the educational system and through quantitative studies based on virtual questionnaires comprised of closed-ended questions. However, the studies tend to ignore questions related to social sustainability (access to resources, heritage culture, intergenerational transmission, employability, or gender equality). It is therefore urgent to develop research committed to a sustainable society that is oriented towards social justice.

Level Of Analysis

Does more education lead to less political violence, and may education thus be a tool for peace? This article provides the first systematic review of the existing quantitative literature on education and political violence. Looking at arguments pertaining to levels, expansion, inequality, and content of education, we identify 42 quantitative studies from the time period 1996 to 2016 that test the relationship between various measures of education and political violence. An emerging scholarly consensus seems to be that education has a general pacifying effect. However, this general conclusion is challenged by recent evidence showing above-average levels of education among terrorists and genocide perpetrators. This, as well as other findings, underscore that the relationship between education and political violence is complex and multidimensional, depending on type of political violence, mediating factors, and level of analysis. We conclude with policy implications from our findings and discuss directions for future analysis.

Digital Competencies

This research paper presents the results of the author’s survey aimed at assessing the digital competence of modern university teachers. The relevance of digital competencies is becoming more and more obvious due to the transformations in the activities of educational organizations. These changes concern the use of digital technologies not only in university management, but also directly in the educational process. The development of distance learning and remote interaction formats is an objective reality in the modern world. The purpose of this article is to make an attempt of assessing a university teacher’s digital competence level based on the general perception of his/her abilities and the digital technologies used in his/her professional activities. The author analyses the teachers’ readiness to use digital technologies and their attitude to distance learning. The study showed that the majority of the interviewed teachers have a high level of basic and universal digital competencies. It was found that most of the respondents already have experience of taking online courses to improve their professional skills. The analysis makes it possible to conclude that the teachers who participated in the survey demonstrate a high readiness to use digital technologies in their professional activities. The author’s study is not supposed to give a complete picture of all Russian university teachers’ digital competence level, since this requires both greater coverage of respondents and the use of other channels (beyond digital) to collect data within the survey. At the same time, this research allows to formulate possible ideas for improving Russian university teachers’ digital competence level, which nowadays becomes the key to improving their effectiveness. The results of the study can be used when working out universities’ personnel development programs in order to ensure a higher level of the teachers’ digital competence.

Emotional valence online. Digital competencies and measuring emotional reactions in terms of qualitative and biometric research Abstract The purpose of the article is to present selected results of the conducted research on digital competence of young people: high school and university students. The preliminary results are to explain, what emotions accompany the implementation of activities requiring the use of digital skills. In the face of rapid technological changes, related to digitalization and widespread of ICT, still the emotional reactions within the human computer interactions (HCI) require in-depth analyses and empirical inquiries. The project realised in Media Research Laboratory University of Warsaw was supposed to provide answers to questions about the relationship between the pole of experienced emotions and the low or high professionalism of tasks in the virtual world. The article also attempts to take up the methodological reflection on the methods of measuring the scientific reaction of a humans being in communication within the cyber-world.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the existing measure instruments for dynamic capabilities (DCs) in order to understand the tendencies of quantitative studies on DCs as well as to evaluate the reliability and validity of these scales. Design/methodology/approach To accomplish this objective, the authors conducted a systematic review of literature on DCs. Findings Main findings indicate that quantitative research works on DCs have focused on the relationship between DCs, innovation, organization performance, knowledge management and absorptive capacity. Findings also show that efforts to measure DCs quantitatively are recent and lack reliable methodology. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this research is that the authors conducted the systematic review on two databases. However, the authors conducted the research on the two most used databases in management research. Practical implications Findings show that academicians have plenty of room to work on quantitative research works on DCs as well as to develop robust scales to measure this construct in diverse business sectors. Originality/value This paper is the first to analyze the existing scales that measure DCs.

The Relationship

Transition to the digital environment transforms the schemas of social interaction including the relationship between parents and their children. Many parents who lack digital competence however are called upon to become agents of ‘digital socialization’ for their kids who step into the world of gadgets from an early age.Current study explores parents competence (including, digital); their attitudes towards developing digital competence of their children; their coping strategies in the situations of child addiction to the digital gadgets, computer games and the Internet use; as well as their request to the education system in line with its ubiquitous digitalization. As a research method the authors have chosen the two-stage survey in which 118 participants took part — the parents of elementary school students. The data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. As a result the parents were clustered into several groups on the basis of: their digital attitudes (supporters and antagonists) and their level of digital competence (low-medium-high). Further the data was analyzed within each cluster. The study has revealed that the majority of parents report themselves as competent (60%) or highly competent (17%) digital users. Positive relationships were identified between the parents' digital competence level and 1) their digital attitudes — the higher the level of competence — the more positive were the attitudes; 2) parents active participation in their children’s digital skills development and acknowledging children’s agency in the process of digital self-education. The results reflect the range of parents' opinions which must be taken into account when assisting families in the process of child development and socialization.

The Relationship

PurposeThis study aims to systematically review empirical research on the relationship between organizational learning (OL) and firm performance (FP) to evaluate how far the field has come.Design/methodology/approachThis study follows a systematic, transparent and replicable approach suggested by Vom Brocke et al. (2009) to conduct a systematic review. A total of 52 empirical studies published over the years 1999–2019 was retrieved and analyzed.FindingsThree key themes related to the OL–FP relationship have emerged from the review. First, research on OL and FP has been quantitatively conducted in a variety of countries and sectors. Second, dimensions of OL foster both financial and non-financial performance of firms through their combinations and interactions. Third, the relationship between OL and FP is mediated by organizational innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThe literature search returned only quantitative studies on OL and FP, which was accepted within the scope of this review. Future studies are encouraged to systematically examine case studies and qualitative research on OL and FP.Practical implicationsThis review demonstrates that FP can be improved through different dimensions of OL. Based on our findings, managers wanting to enhance the performance of their firms can analyze the demand for OL and develop those OL dimensions.Originality/valueThis is among the first systematic literature reviews on OL and FP. The findings of this study also contribute to the previously scattered understanding of OL and FP.
