Результаты самооценки педагогами школ цифровой компетентности с применением инструмента SELFI

Abstract

The article describes the results of research into the digital competencies of school teachers using the SELFI self-assessment tool, which has been adapted to the national context. SELFIE includes a survey of teachers in six key areas: professional activity; digital resources; teaching and learning; assessment; empowering learners; promoting the development of learners' digital competences. The main research question was: Which areas of digital competences of school teachers in Kazakhstan, corresponding to the EU DigCompEdu framework, need support and further improvement? The study used quantitative research methods with online surveys. Two hundred teachers of different age groups and qualification categories participated in the survey. The sample was selected at random. As a result of the descriptive research method, data on six areas of teachers' digital competences were obtained. The results of the study showed that special attention should be paid to the development of digital skills in areas such as «Promoting the development of students' digital competences», «Empowering students», «Teaching and learning» and «Assessment» when training teachers and improving their qualifications. It was found that young teachers demonstrate a better level of digital skills, while the level of digital competence does not depend on the teacher's qualification category.
