This study aims to know the opinions of pre-service teachers on their digital

competence and to determine whether these opinions vary according to gender,

branch and perceived level of digital competence. In this study, a cross-sectional

survey model was used. In such a context, the study was conducted with 518

pre-service teachers who were studying in different provinces of Turkey. The study

used a digital competence questionnaire as a data collection tool. When the results

were evaluated, it can be said that the digital competence of pre-service teachers is

moderate and that it varies significantly according to gender, branch and perceived

level of digital competence. It is thought that the results of this study will guide the

researchers as they reveal the needs of the pre-service teachers and contain

information about what should be focused on the training or activities to be

organized to meet these needs.
