The review of the term `digital competence´ contributes to the process of Europeanization of the education system, driven by thirty-one governments, according to the Bologna Declaration. Structural reform of the higher education space directly affects teacher training, teacher training degrees, pedagogy, and lifelong learning. Initially, the term offers its background. It notices different approaches that lead to deviations. After all, the study unifies the conceptual dealing with current studies on competence in teaching and learning contexts. Finally, this paper offers the meaning of digital competence today, keeping a significant link with the use and impact of new technologies applied to education. Advanced technologies’s possibilities recognize the importance of teacher training and the current role of teachers as well.
