Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the historical constitution of the term "competence" and its developments up to the concept of Digital Competencies (DC) in the Brazilian educational landscape. The objective is to reflect on the conceptions of competence adopted in Brazil, questioning whether they are still associated solely with the manipulation of digital equipment. The research is bibliographic and documentary in nature, with a qualitative approach and uses the dialectical method. The results demonstrate that the term "competence" evolved from the legal and linguistic fields to the business sector and can be understood by the acronym KSA: knowledge, skills, and attitudes, influencing the educational sphere. The BNCC (Brazilian National Curriculum Base) defines competence as the mobilization of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values, and recent legislation reinforces the need for digital education. The conclusion points out that, although the concept of DC is contemporary in Brazil, its application reveals social fragilities and the persistence of inequality of opportunity.
