Proficiency of Teachers’ Digital Content Creation
Proficiency of Teachers’ Digital Content Creation

Summary/Abstract: Purpose: This paper examines the digital competence proficiency of approximately 1,400 Slovenian teachers from 70 primary and secondary schools. The central research question addresses the extent of teachers’ proficiency in digital content creation and explores the differences that emerge across various projects. Study design/methodology/approach: A quantitative survey was conducted to evaluate teachers’ competence in digital content creation. The collected data served as the basis for descriptive statistics and comparative analysis. The originality of this approach lies in connecting current state of practice in schools with the measurable indicators defined by the DigComp 2.2 competence framework. Findings: The findings reveal that teachers generally demonstrate fundamental to intermediate proficiency that varies across specific sub-competencies. Programming is by far the least developed sub-competence by Slovenian teachers. The results highlight the ongoing need for targeted teachers’ professional development of digital competencies in order for students to benefit in classrooms. The analysis provides evidence-based insights that support the design of future interventions, tailored more precisely to teachers’ needs in digital content creation, thereby contributing to the overall digital readiness of the education system. Originality/value: The paper builds on a comparative analysis of project activities with the aim of assessing both their impact and the current state of teachers’ competencies in creating digital content. The evaluation was carried out in alignment with the DigComp 2.2 framework, which provides a structured perspective on digital competence across different dimensions. By mapping teachers’ knowledge and practices to this framework, the study not only highlights the strengths and weaknesses revealed through project implementation but also identifies concrete gaps in digital content creation skills.
