Influence of Poor Digital Competence on Procrastination of University Teachers

Published: 01 October 2020 Publication History

Abstract

The paper describes the possible ways of evaluating digital competence and digital literacy of university teaching staff and underlines the importance of university teachers’ ICT skills development. The digitalization of society and the current situation of lockdown reveals the necessity to possess high level of digital competence. This urgency is aggravated because of the possibility of teachers to procrastinate on professional tasks, such as administrative and organizational tasks and correcting students’ work due to the poor competence beliefs and fear of failure. According to the findings of the study there is a negative correlation (rs= -0.396) between digital competence and procrastination of the university teachers. It demonstrates that digital competence being increased the level of procrastination lessens. The results obtained will help the management of the universities to find the options for improving and mastering ICT skills of their staff and prevent procrastinating behaviour.
