Teachers’ Views on Their Digital Competence and Professional Development
Teachers’ Views on Their Digital Competence and Professional Development

Summary/Abstract: In the last few decades, the number of empirical studies focusing on teachers’ digital competence, preparedness and ability to use information and communications technology (ICT) devices has increased. The present study comprises recent pedagogical results on teachers’ digital readiness with special emphasis on its role in their own professional development in an international context. The different views on digital competence are also described. Teachers need a complex set of digital skills (including cognitive, motoric, social and emotional skills) in order to improve their educational practices in the digital environment. A teacher needs to be able to estimate and recognize the consequences of how the use of ICT devices changes the process of education and learning strategies. Adapting new methodological practices leads to teachers’ continuous professional development.
