Öz
There is a diversity in the teachers’ digital capabilities of online education skills and many research related this for decades. According to the literature review teachers were being discriminated based on numerous gaps. This paper seeks to assess the existence of gaps of teachers’ online education skills in the four axes: access, age, gender, and language. A research was carried out through an online questionnaire and the results of technology-based online education skills; web-based online education skills, and administrative online education skills were analysed statistically. There was a significant digital convergence among the teachers surveyed, which is important for their ability to deliver effective online courses. To bridge these gaps in the educational world of teachers, in-service training plans should be made, collaboratively with the online education experts and technology experts. This research study has some significant results compared to the studies delivered in the last decade.
