Digital media in teachers' training; formulating recommendation on how to enhance creativity

In this paper we discuss the process of formulating guidelines for educational practitioners on how to integrate digital creative teaching in their daily practice and of drawing policy recommendations for institutions on how to enhance digital creativity (DC) in teachers’ education on national or European level. This set of guidelines/recommendations comes as one of the end products of DoCENT project (DC Enhanced in Teacher Education). A main goal of the project was to design a teachers’ training model, based on the DoCENT Framework for Digital Creative Teaching Competences (DF), which was already developed at the beginning of the project. The training model was implemented in Italy, Spain and Greece, and a set of digital resources was produced. The evaluation of the implementation phase, the analysis of the data that were produced and the resources that was constructed during the implementation phase, are the basis of the set of guidelines/recommendations. In the next pages we mostly describe the rationale behind the guidelines/recommendations formulation and we focus on their linking to the DF. Finally, we give a sample of guidelines, since their drawing is still ongoing.
