Abstract

This paper explores using training sessions as an effective approach to developing digital competence among secondary school teachers. Technology-focused training sessions were conducted with teachers across disciplines, demonstrating tools like Kahoot, LearningApps, Mentimeter, and more. Pre- and post-training surveys measured self-reported digital competence, with most teachers moving from “sufficient” to “high” competence after participating. The training sessions allowed teachers to learn new skills hands-on while experiencing tools from a student perspective. This method shows promise for continuously improving teachers’ ability to leverage technology for engaged learning, which is especially vital in the age of remote instruction. More research is warranted on training impacts and optimal session design.
