Abstract

https://doi.org/10.26565/2074-8922-2025-84-25

Purpose. The aim of this study is to investigate how the implementation of digital solutions influences
the development of educators' digital competencies and to explore how knowledge of one digital solution can be
applied in working with other educational technologies. Additionally, this study seeks to test the hypothesis that
familiarizing educators with specific digital testing systems can enhance their confidence in using other systems
and improve their overall digital competence.
Methods. The study employs observation, surveys, experimentation, analysis, and the method of studying
and generalizing best pedagogical practices.
Results. This article examines the impact of digital tools, particularly testing systems, on improving
educators' digital competencies. A brief overview of the testing systems introduced into the educational process
is provided. Following the implementation of these systems, an assessment of their impact on educators' digital
competencies was conducted. The effectiveness of the implementation was evaluated through a survey method,
using two types of questionnaires: a questionnaire to assess the development of educators' digital competencies,
a questionnaire to determine the level of digital competence after using a testing application (the survey was
conducted after the implementation of each proposed program). The results of these surveys emphasize the
importance and relevance of developing educators' digital competencies, as well as the necessity of maintaining
and improving these skills throughout their professional careers. Additionally, the survey results confirm the
hypothesis that introducing educators to digital testing systems can increase their confidence in using such
systems and enhance their overall digital competence.
Conclusions. The results of this experiment on mastering testing systems demonstrate a positive impact
on the development of technical skills and the ability to increase educators' confidence in using digital
technologies. Therefore, it is essential to conduct courses and training sessions that familiarize educators with the
latest digital solutions, support and develop already implemented software tools, and facilitate the integration of
new technologies. Future research directions may focus on conducting a more detailed study with a larger
sample size, as well as analyzing the shortcomings of testing systems identified through the surveys. This would
enable further refinement of existing systems or the development of new testing solutions.
