Factors supporting digital pedagogical competence of primary education teachers in Indonesia

Abstract

Teachers must have digital pedagogical competency in order to instruct their pupils in the 4.0 industrial revolution age. The creative ability of educators in West Sumatra is insufficient. As a result, they must be able to employ a variety of learning strategies. The goal of this research is to discover the factors that contribute to teachers’ mastery of digital pedagogical competence and to analyze their digital pedagogical competence. This study used a sample size of 94 teachers from three locations, namely, Padang, Bukit Tinggi, and Solok, based on their educational level, age, and gender. The information was gathered through the use of questionnaires, which had been verified for validity and reliability. The findings revealed that there are characteristics that promote instructors’ ability to construct digital tools for analysis and assessment. It is suggested that systematic training must be provided for the development of digital pedagogical competency.
