Evaluating the necessity of educational competence for lecturers through digitization of study subject content

ENThe article analyses the relationship between educational and digital competences in the development of digital study tools and digitisation of the content of study subjects. A quantitative study was conducted, that is, a survey of lecturers who have participated in educational and content digitisation training courses and developed digital study tools. Simple quantitative analysis was used to process the data. The results of the survey showed that the development and use of digital tools require not only learning the different tools for digitisation, but also knowing what didactic purposes they can be used for and what learning goals they can be used to achieve. Thus, digitising the content of the subject begins with the selection of appropriate tools that serve specific didactic goals. The findings underscore the imperative to improve educational competence through the digitisation of study subject content.
