Summary/Abstract: The Digital Education Strategy of Hungary (2016) considers it as high priority to develop a proper framework and descriptors to measure teachers ‘digital competences. The relevance of tools to measure and self-assess teachers’ digital competences is also underlined in the Hungarian qualification system of teachers working in public education. The Strategy lays special emphasis on the task to develop fine-tuned digital competence instruments for teachers and school-leaders for self-diagnosis and peer-assessment, too. In this paper, three international and two Hungarian research-based instruments will be focused on to measure teachers’ digital literacy as well as their digital methodological competences. The main findings of a smallscale pilot study will reveal teacher’s beliefs about a discussed digital competence tool to measure their digital literacy.
