An Investigation into Teachers' Awareness and Utilisation Levels of Digital Technologies in the Digital Transformation Process

Öz

The primary aim of this study is to determine the extent to which teachers utilise digital transformation in educational settings. Within the scope of the study, the "Digital Transformation Utilisation Level Scale" was first developed and subsequently applied in the field. A survey design, one of the quantitative research approaches, was adopted for this study. The participantsfor the study consisted of 316 public high school teachers working in Kars province during the 2023–2024 academic year. In the sampling process, stratified sampling was used first, followed by simple random sampling. T-tests, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests were applied in the analyses. The results of the analyses revealed that teachers' levels of utilisation of digital transformation were high. However, teachers demonstrated a moderate level of participation in the "Advanced Level of Digital Technology Use" sub-dimension. Significant differences were found in teachers' views regarding their level of utilisation of digital transformation based on variables such as age, professional seniority, title, subject area, level of digital literacy, participation in training, and involvement in projects. As a result of the research, it was recommended that teachers be supported through practical and comprehensive training programmes, particularly focusing on the use of advanced digital technologies, alongside supportive conferences, seminars and reward systems, to enable them to benefit more effectively from digital transformation.
