Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the digital competence levels of faculty members who teach in tourism and tourism-related departments of higher education institutions in Turkey. For this purpose, data were collected from 108 faculty members using the Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu) scale. Before starting the data collection process, ethical approval was obtained from Antalya Bilim University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee on 04.04.2023 with decision number 2023/13. The findings revealed that the digital competencies of participants were at the level of 'Integrator (B1)'. The findings also revealed that the digital competence levels of participants were close to each other in terms of their gender. In addition, it was determined that there was a difference between age groups and work experience and digital competence levels on the basis of total scores, although it was not very significant. In this context, participants belonging to the age group of 30 and below and participants with less than 5 years of work experience have relatively high levels of digital competence.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada yükseköğretim kurumlarının turizm ve turizmle ilişkili bölümlerinde eğitim-öğretim faaliyetleri gerçekleştiren öğretim elemanlarının dijital yeterlilik düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Eğitimciler için Dijital Yeterlilik (DigCompEdu) ölçeği kullanılarak 108 öğretim elamanından veri toplanmıştır. Veri toplama sürecine başlamadan önce Antalya Bilim Üniversitesi Sosyal ve Beşerî Bilimler Etik Kurulu’ndan 04.04.2023 tarih ve 2023/13 karar numarası ile etik onay alınmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, katılımcıların dijital yeterliliklerinin ‘Bütünleştirici (B1)’ düzeyinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bulgular ayrıca katılımcıların cinsiyetleri bakımından dijital yeterlilik düzeylerinin birbirine yakın olduğunu göstermiştir. Bunun yanı sıra yaş grupları ve mesleki tecrübe ile dijital yeterlilik düzeyleri arasında çok belirgin olmamakla birlikte toplam puan bazında bir fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda 30 ve altı yaş grubuna mensup katılımcılar ile 5 yıldan az mesleki tecrübeye sahip katılımcıların dijital yeterlilik düzeyleri görece yüksektir.
