Sažetak
The purpose of the present correlational study was to examine whether teachers’ digital competencies self-reported prior to the implementation of a project aiming at applying ICT in teaching, as well as the frequency of attending teacher training workshops during the project, predicted teachers’ reported ICT use in educational activities. Elementary and high school teachers (N=1234) filled up an online questionnaire about their general and specific digital competencies, at the beginning of the project, and, at the end of it, an online questionnaire about their use of ICT and digital educational content in various school-related activities. Teachers also assessed the frequency of their participation in workshops during the project.Three hierarchical regression analyses were performed with digital competencies and frequency of participation in workshops as predictors and three indicators of reported ICT use as criteria.The results revealed that specific digital competencies (especially one related to using digital technology for teaching and learning) and participation in workshops were significant and strongest predictors of all selected indicators of ICT use. Future education training and/or projects for teachers should focus on developing specific digital competencies and on offering various educational workshops to increase teachers’ probability of successful ICT use.
