Abstract

The digital transformation of education appears to represent what might be characterized as a substantially crucial opportunity to promote profound changes within the educational system, and what seems especially noteworthy in this analytical context is that the improvement and reconstruction of teachers’ competencies tend to play what seems to be a rather fundamental role in this process. What this particular study appears to focus upon seems to be the competency gaps of teachers in digital teaching, while endeavoring to analyze what seem to be their underlying root causes from three dimensions: institutional governance, resources and technology, and individual professional development. What it appears to suggest what seems to be the prominent difficulties ostensibly manifested within instructional design, data literacy, and classroom organization, and what it further appears to explore are the underlying mechanisms. What these findings tend to point toward what appears to be, therefore, is that the lack of teacher competence may not be predominantly a defect at a singular level, but rather seems to be the resultant outcome of what appears to be overlapping structural contradictions and systemic barriers. What appears to emerge from this evidence, therefore, considering the nuanced nature of these findings, is that this study tentatively proposes a systematic pathway for enhancement, including governance alignment, curriculum reconstruction, and ecological empowerment, with the overarching aim of appearing to achieve what seems to be sustained improvement in teachers’ competencies and the predominantly deep implementation of digital education strategies, thereby appearing to provide what might be considered crucial theoretical support and a practical action framework for educational practice.
