Description¶

The article's concluding recommendation is that digital competency must be built into teacher preparation from the start: "The competency component in digital transformation requires the preparation of educational staff, as early as possible from teacher-producing educational institutions." It further recommends improving education quality "by training teachers in selecting and using appropriate communication technology tools and adapting educational content and methods depending on the teaching medium." This responds to the survey's finding that virtualizing-process technology use scored lowest.
