Digital Transformation Profiles of Prospective Teachers

Abstract

Determining the digital skills, awareness and responsibility levels of prospective teachers is critical for both their individual development and their future teaching roles. In this context, determining the current status of prospective teachers in areas such as digital citizenship, security and addiction is necessary to reveal their adaptation to the digital transformation process and the risks they may face in this process. For this reason, within the scope of the study, it was aimed to examine the digital transformation profiles of prospective teachers within the framework of digital citizenship, digital security and digital addiction dimensions. The study, which was based on the relational survey model, was conducted with 476 prospective teachers studying at the Faculty of Education. Questionnaires consisting of three dimensions were applied to the participants. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers' digital citizenship levels were high, but their digital addiction tendencies were also at a remarkable level. While a significant difference was found in favor of women in digital citizenship according to gender variable, no significant difference was found in digital security and addiction levels. A strong positive correlation was found between digital citizenship and digital safety. The study shows that prospective teachers have developed levels of ethical and responsible behavior in digital environments; however, they need support in terms of self-regulation, psychological resilience and digital well-being. In this context, it is recommended to include digital awareness, safety and addiction issues in teacher training programs with a holistic approach.
