Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
Nursing assessment guides are generally based on holistic models rather than medical...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Teacher Professional Development
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Effective teaching in digital societies requires robust teacher digital competences.
  • Existing scales for measuring teacher digital competences are limited in scope and reliability.
  • Developing a comprehensive and validated instrument is crucial for accurate assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive scale for assessing teachers' digital competences.
  • To provide a reliable tool for evaluating digital skills across all educational levels.
  • To inform targeted teacher training and professional development initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • A draft scale was developed and piloted with teachers from various educational levels.
  • Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) refined the scale to 36 items across four factors.
  • Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability (Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, CR), and validity analyses confirmed the scale's psychometric properties.

Main Results:

  • The Teachers' Digital Competences Scale (TDC-S) demonstrated a valid and reliable four-factor structure.
  • High internal consistency and reliability were indicated by Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and Composite Reliability.
  • Convergent and discriminant validity analyses supported the scale's construct validity.

Conclusions:

  • The TDC-S is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing digital competences in primary and high school teachers.
  • The scale can be utilized to identify areas for improvement in teacher digital skills.
  • Findings support the use of TDC-S in designing and evaluating teacher training programs.
