Abstract

This research paper investigated the digital competence of students in higher education in Uganda, utilising the Dig-Comp 2.1 framework as the basis for assessment. The study explores potential gender disparities in digital competence levels among students, aiming to identify areas of improvement for educational institutions and policymakers. The research utilised a quantitative approach, incorporating online surveys to collect data (N = 99) from a diverse sample of university students. Descriptive and t-test analyses were performed to analyse the significant differences in digital competencies between genders and found slight but statistically insignificant differences. The study’s findings contribute to the growing body of research on gender and digital competency and underscore the need for ongoing efforts to create inclusive and equitable digital education environments. In today's increasingly digital world, possessing adequate digital competence is crucial for personal, academic, and professional success. Higher education institutions are pivotal in equipping students with the necessary digital skills to thrive in the digital age. To enhance digital competence among all students, educators, policymakers, and institutions must focus on gender-sensitive strategies and tailor digital literacy programs to meet the diverse needs of their student population

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the sudden transition of teaching and learning from the perspectives of the teacher educators and students of an education graduate faculty in one of the universities in Brunei Darussalam. During the first COVID-19 outbreak in the country, higher education institutions shifted the conventional teaching and learning approach from mostly face-to-face to fully online teaching and learning. The online questionnaires were distributed to the teaching staff and students via email and the response rate of the online questionnaires for teacher educators and students was 88% and 57.6% respectively. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data where frequency and percentage were then utilised to describe the patterns of the responses. It was found that half of the teacher educators and students perceived there were more interactions through online teaching activities between the teaching staff and their students. However, both staff and students mentioned that their physical and mental wellbeing were also affected due to the sudden transition to online teaching and learning.
