The Digital Skills of Teaching Staff in Algerian universities: Between training and requirements in the field

Abstract

Technology education is one of the main challenges to be met today, both nationally and internationally. Forums such as UNESCO have long agreed on the need to promote the integration of technology into education systems. This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey on the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the training of university teachers in Algeria. Distributed online to teachers from various universities, fields, and specialities, the questionnaire collected preliminary data highlighting that, despite the undeniable potential of these technologies and the diversity of devices aimed at improving teaching and learning, their integration in the Algerian university context remains limited. From this perspective, in-service training for teachers and the digitalization of university environments are essential levers for promoting a more effective and sustainable adoption of these digital tools.
