Digital competences of music culture teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic

The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. This framework was the starting point for the research carried out in this paper regarding digital competences of Music Culture teachers of two Croatian counties, and special emphasis was put on the COVID-19 pandemic. The research results showed Music Culture teachers’ usage of the digital tools during COVID- 19 pandemic and their familiarity with specialized digital tools such as Finale, Sibelius, Encore etc. According to the research results, almost half (47.6%) of Music Culture teachers included in the research used some of digital tools in every lecture. The majority of Music Culture teachers strongly advocated OERs – Open Educational Resources for Music Culture education, which they could easily adjust to and use in the teaching process. Also, the majority of Music Culture teachers were aware of the ongoing need for lifelong learning and professional training, especially regarding specialized digital tools for teaching Music Culture and the development of their digital learning strategies in a virtual or traditional environment.
