Abstract:

The phenomenon of digital competence is an integral part of school education. It is not just about access to and use of information and communication technologies, but knowledge, skills and attitudes towards these technologies are needed. In the field of education, not only the digital literacy of teachers and their students is important, but without the constant development of digital skills, education in this modern society would not be high quality, innovative and effective. The area of teachers' digital competence is constantly the subject of research, as evidenced by several studies in this area. We perceive teaching in the form of the use of many technological tools and innovations of the digital world in a perspective way, also with regard to current developments in society. The development of digital technologies is unsustainable, and it is therefore necessary to monitor and, in particular, develop digital literacy not only for teachers who are already actively pursuing their profession, but also for future teachers who are still preparing for their profession. In the article we also point out the necessary need for the transfer of digital literacy from teachers to students. We also consider it important to realize that too narrow a focus on technical and information skills can overshadow the development of other necessary knowledge and skills for both the teacher and the student.
