Abstract

"In our study, we are interested in the role of digital technologies in education and its inequality-forming/reducing effect, with a special focus on the social gap dimension of the phenomenon. In our study, we present the partial results of an empirical research among teachers in one of the counties of Szeklerland (Covasna), in which we compared the level of digital competence of teachers based on self-reflected data with social background variables such as gender, age, number of years in the profession, professional background, etc. The sample included teachers who had attended teacher training courses (N=312). The survey was conducted during COVID-19. Our results show that there are significant differences between users (teachers). Demographic indicators of teachers such as gender, age, type of workplace, location, etc. can be used to differentiate digital inequalities at the societal level. Keywords: teacher, COVID-19, social divide, digital divide, DigComp 2.1, DigCompEdu"
