DIGITAL PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCIES AND MOTIVATIONAL ACCESS TO DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS DURING THE PANDEMIC PROCESS

Abstract

This study, it was aimed to examine the digital pedagogical competencies and of primary school teachers' motivational access to digital technologies during the pandemic process. For this purpose, the survey method was used in the study. A total of 194 primary school teachers from 7 regions of Turkey participated in the study. In the related study, a personal information form, motivational access to digital technologies, and a digital pedagogical competencies scale were used to collect data from primary school teachers. Related analysis showed that teachers' motivational access to digital technologies and digital pedagogical competencies are good during the pandemic process. However, the related research reveals the relationship between primary school motivational access to digital technologies and their digital pedagogical competencies during the epidemic, but does not provide detailed information about the professional difficulties teachers face with digital technologies. In this direction, research has been proposed to determine the professional difficulties faced by primary school teachers in the context of digital technologies and the strategies to overcome these difficulties.
