Abstract: This article examines how the concepts of digital literacies and digital competence are conceptualized in curricula for compulsory education within the Nordic countries.

By taking the curricula in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway as examples, this article attempts to clarify similarities and differences in how the concepts are interpreted, as well as what implications this has for the digitalization of education. The analyses reveal that different terms are used in the curricula in the different countries, which are connected to
