Abstract
Future teachers are members of the digital generation so the authors are interested to find out what students (future teachers) consider as essential digital competence necessary for their future teaching profession. We are also interested in knowing if they think that competence, which is developed in existing curricula, should be further developed according to modern educational trends. We studied a sample of the students in the humanities and social sciences who are studying at the undergraduate and master’s levels for teachers in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at University of Zagreb, the largest teaching faculty in Republic of Croatia. Research was conducted using a survey with opened and closed questions. Students were asked to rate their attitudes toward the necessary digital competence of future teachers who will educate future generations of digital students using Likert scales.
