Given CoHE’s decision to grant universities the authority to design their own curricula (Council of Higher Education, 2020), ELTE programs in Türkiye have continued program development and improvement efforts. This shift has made it necessary to investigate how technology integration is implemented at different institutions, especially in their official curriculum documents. A qualitative document analysis was conducted on program documents of selected ELTE programs in Türkiye. Program descriptions, program outcomes, course descriptions, and course contents were analyzed using DigCompEdu. The findings revealed varying degrees of technology integration in ELTE curricula. While few programs explicitly mentioned digital competences, the majority offered limited or implicit references to technology-supported instruction. Areas such as digital assessment, technology-enhanced feedback, and responsible technology use were found to be underemphasized. A holistic curricular vision for digital pedagogy is called for. Offering insights into the current state of technology integration in ELTE programs in Türkiye, this research could contribute to various stakeholders in the field aiming to enhance future teachers’ digital pedagogical readiness.}, number={Özel Sayı}, publisher={Başkent Üniversitesi}
