This paper presents the development and validation of the DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion framework, an extension of the European DigCompEdu model, designed to promote a critical, pedagogically grounded use of digital technologies to support special education. Developed through a literature review and validated via an empirical process involving a panel of experts, the framework integrates the three dimensions of the Index for Inclusion and introduces four new key competences for inclusive teaching. This extension addresses the needs of post-Covid schooling and the profound transformations introduced by Artificial Intelligence, providing an instructional design model that promotes personalization, accessibility and student autonomy. The validation results confirm the clarity, internal coherence and relevance of the framework. DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion therefore stands as both a theoretical and operational tool that can support educators in teaching practices and self-assessment, fostering an inclusive use of digital technologies.
Il presente contributo illustra lo sviluppo e la validazione del framework DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion, un’estensione del modello europeo DigCompEdu volta a promuovere un uso critico e pedagogicamente fondato delle tecnologie digitali a supporto della didattica inclusiva. Elaborato attraverso una revisione della letteratura e validato mediante un processo empirico con un panel di esperti, il framework integra le tre dimensioni dell’Index for Inclusion e introduce quattro nuove competenze chiave per l’insegnamento inclusivo. Tale estensione risponde alle esigenze della scuola post-Covid e alle trasformazioni legate all’Intelligenza Artificiale, offrendo un modello di progettazione orientato a personalizzazione, accessibilità e autonomia degli studenti, in linea con i principi dell’UDL e dell’ICF. I risultati della validazione confermano la chiarezza, la coerenza interna e la rilevanza del modello, delineando il DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion come uno strumento teorico-operativo capace di supportare gli insegnanti nelle pratiche didattiche e nei processi di autovalutazione.

Abstract
This paper presents the development and validation of the DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion framework, an extension of the European DigCompEdu model, designed to promote a critical, pedagogically grounded use of digital technologies to support special education. Developed through a literature review and validated via an empirical process involving a panel of experts, the framework integrates the three dimensions of the Index for Inclusion and introduces four new key competences for inclusive teaching. This extension addresses the needs of post-Covid schooling and the profound transformations introduced by Artificial Intelligence, providing an instructional design model that promotes personalization, accessibility and student autonomy. The validation results confirm the clarity, internal coherence and relevance of the framework. DigCompEdu 4 Inclusion therefore stands as both a theoretical and operational tool that can support educators in teaching practices and self-assessment, fostering an inclusive use of digital technologies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
