Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the Digital Competence Assessment Framework for primary and secondary schools in Europe developed in the H2020 CRISS project. A qualitative approach consisting of an integrative literature review and input from experts and teachers from seven European countries was used to validate the construct. The framework adopts the approach of integrative pedagogy for implementation within the school curriculum, structuring learning through competences in various syllabus specifications focusing on the digital competence. It proposes a process based on a set of assessment scenarios that use several methods for gathering learning evidence and implement rules to ensure validity and reliability. In this sense, the scalability and flexibility of the entire proposal is one of the strengths of the system and makes the solution transferable to similar contexts using a Competence-Based Education (CBE) approach.
