Digital Education Action Plan – Action 7
The digital information environment is complex. Algorithms, information bubbles and echo chambers influence what young people see online. At the same time, disinformation and harmful content are growing and affecting our democracies and individual well-being.
Education and training therefore play a key role in helping learners develop digital literacy.
The guidelines: practical support for your teaching
The Commission first published guidelines in 2022.
They are designed for teachers working in primary and secondary education levels, with little to no prior experience with digital literacy or disinformation.
They provide hands-on support you can apply to your everyday teaching:
- Practical tips to assess digital literacy
- A glossary and lesson plans about critical thinking, cyberbullying and generative AI
- Insights into digital pedagogy and the dimensions of disinformation
- Advice on discussing deceptive content and controversial issues.
What the update offers
The updated version (2026) reflects the latest developments in the digital landscape. It includes new sections on:
- generative AI and its link to disinformation
- social media use and the role of influencers
- pre-bunking (preparing learners to recognise manipulation before exposure)
- elaborate lesson plans and an updated glossary
- recommendations for school leaders and policymakers
Forbraíodh na Treoirlínte agus an Tuarascáil Chríochnaitheach le tacaíocht ó ghrúpa neamhfhoirmiúil saineolaithe de chuid an Choimisiúin I dteannta a chéile, tugann comhaltaí an ghrúpa saineolas ón bpobal oideachais agus oiliúna, ón saol acadúil, ón gcraoltóireacht, ón earnáil phríobháideach agus ó dhaoine eile.
Na torthaí a bhfuiltear ag súil leo
- feasacht agus eolas níos fearr ag an bpobal maidir leis an mbréagaisnéis
- tuiscint níos forleithne ar an litearthacht dhigiteach a bhaint amach tríd an oideachas agus an oiliúint
- úsáid fhreagrach agus shábháilte teicneolaíochtaí digiteacha
Amlíne
- Deireadh Fómhair 2022 - foilsiú na dtreoirlínte agus na tuarascála críochnaithí ón ngrúpa saineolaithe
- Deireadh 2025 - foilsiú an nuashonraithe ar threoirlínte chun dúshláin atá ag teacht chun cinn agus dea-chleachtais atá ag teacht chun cinn a léiriú
Maoiniú
Tá an ghníomhaíocht seo á maoiniú trí chlár Erasmus+.
