THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS IN THE DIGITAL AGE: ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The development of teachers in the digital age is essential to ensure that educators can adapt and effectively use technology in their teaching. The development of necessary skills for teachers in this era includes digital literacy, the use of technology in designing and developing curricula, data management, and online communication, all of which are crucial for promoting modern and effective learning. However, the development of teachers in the digital age still faces several challenges, such as limited access to resources, resistance to change, and the need for effective professional development programs. This paper emphasizes the importance of developing the necessary skills to enable teachers to appropriately use technology in teaching and effectively promote students' learning in the digital age.
