DIGITAL AND MEDIA LITERACY IN TEACHER EDUCATION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF TRAINING OUTCOMES

Summary/Abstract: The rapid expansion of digital information ecosystems and the proliferation of disinformation have significantly transformed contemporary educational environments, requiring teachers to integrate digital technologies while fostering students’ critical thinking and digital media literacy. This study examines the implementation and evaluation of a training course developed within the European project Teachers 4.0 Digital Age, delivered in Bulgaria to in-service teachers. The programme, structured into ten modules and delivered through a blended learning format on an e-learning platform combined with synchronous sessions, involved 166 participants, of whom 126 completed the evaluation. The findings reveal high levels of satisfaction and a significant increase in teachers’ self-reported confidence in recognising disinformation and applying digital media literacy in classroom practice, highlighting the effectiveness and relevance of structured professional development in addressing current educational challenges.
