Abstract

This study aimed to identify the requirements for using digital skills based on professional standards for teachers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from the perspective of general education teachers in Bisha City. The researchers conducted a survey of 371 male and female teachers randomly selected from all grades for the academic year 2022-2023G. The study found that the requirements for using digital skills had a high-level evaluation, while the field related to the standard of digital skills that can be applied based on professional standards had an average evaluation. The study also found statistically significant differences in responses to the first and fourth fields, attributed to gender, academic qualification, and training courses in education technologies. Based on these results, the study recommends the development of a tool to measure digital skills and the creation of a proposed framework to improve teaching performance based on professional standards. The study also recommends the development of mechanisms and standards to regulate workflow in schools and the preparation of a guide book on digital skills and professional standards for teachers.
