Özet:
This mixed-method study, employing a parallel experimental design, aims to investigate the impact of two distinct DigCompEdu framework-based Teacher Digital Competence (TDC) continuous professional development programs, each uniquely tailored for pre-service and in-service English language teachers, while concurrently exploring participants’ self-reported TDC development. The study involved two distinct groups: 55 pre-service English teachers (PSET) in a teacher education program at a university, and 33 in-service English teachers (INSET) in an online professional development series. The DigCompEdu scale was adapted and utilized for the PSET group through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with 220, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with 228 PSETs, generating a good model fit with positive fit indices. For the INSET group, the study utilized the validated and reliable DigCompEdu scale. Additionally, the study encompassed various qualitative data collection tools in both groups, such as one-on-one interviews, focus group interviews, online chat transcripts, reflection papers, field notes, observer notes, participant-created lesson plans, as well as analyses of digital activities and materials. v Findings, reached through One-Way Repeated-Measures Within-Subjects Manova analyses, revealed statistically significant improvements in the teacher digital competences of both samples over the course of three time points. The results were further validated and expanded using qualitative data. This study also provides valuable insights into the TDC development, initial understanding, observed changes, benefits obtained, and challenges faced by both groups. These findings have implications for future research and the design of continuous professional development programs, underlining the integration of TDC in pre-service and in-service teacher education.
