Summary/Abstract: Digital competences are considered a particularly important component of keycompetences of modern people. The documents of the European Parliament and the respectivePolish Teacher Training Standards indicate the need for educators to acquire computerand information technology competences that can be used in their work, professional development, and personal development. The importance of those competences in everydaylife has increased dramatically due to the current pandemic of COVID-19, with distance learningbecoming the only form of education available. The need to acquire or improve digital skills hasalso increased. This paper discusses the European Framework for the Digital Competence ofEducators (DigCompEdu) and a self-assessment tool designed based on this framework. Withthe universality and practical applicability of the tool, it can become an inspiration for lifelong improvement of digital competences both in organized forms and as self-learning activities.
