Abstract

In this study, digital literacy levels and lifelong learning tendencies of teachers were investigated. Data were collected from 210 teachers working in public schools in Zonguldak province. Two measurement tools, namely Digital Literacy Scale and Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale, were used in data collection. In the study conducted with the scanning method, the difference between the variables of gender, branch and age of the teachers and digital literacy and lifelong learning tendencies was investigated. In addition, the relationship between teachers’ digital literacy levels and lifelong learning tendencies was examined. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained from the research, no significant difference was found between the digital literacy levels and lifelong learning tendencies of teachers and gender, educational status (undergraduate-graduate), branch (Classroom teacher-Culture lesson teacher). It was observed that the digital literacy levels of teachers aged 46 and over were lower than those of younger teachers.
