Data about Teachers' Perspectives Developing Digital Literacy for Secondary School Students

This dataset provides detailed information about lower secondary school teachers' perceptions and assessments of the current state of digital competency development for lower secondary school students in Vietnam. The dataset encompasses five main aspects from teachers' perspectives: (a) General teacher information, including province name, region, gender, age, years of service and educational qualifications, subjects currently teaching at school; (b) Teachers' understanding of digital competency and their assessment of the role of digital competency for students; (c) Conditions necessary to implement educational activities aimed at developing students' digital competency; (d) Current activities of teachers and schools (regarding the use of equipment, IT infrastructure, teaching methods, assessment activities); (e) Effectiveness of activities (regarding teaching methods, testing, assessment) aimed at developing digital competency for students. Data collection was conducted online via Google Forms from March 1-20, 2024, with the participation of 7,415 lower secondary school teachers from thirteen provinces in Vietnam. This dataset aims to provide valuable detailed information for policymakers and educational administrators about the current context in schools regarding educational activities aimed at developing digital competency for lower secondary school students. Additionally, this dataset serves as a basis for proposing solutions to develop students' digital competency, while helping lower secondary schools have direction in strengthening support for teachers to participate in training and professional development aimed at developing digital competency for learners. Educational administrators and researchers can use this data to better understand pedagogical requirements such as teacher training and policy development related to students' digital competency development. Furthermore, this dataset can help educational technology developers understand the needs, readiness, and use of equipment and IT infrastructure in teaching to develop students' digital competency across subjects. Overall, this dataset is valuable in providing an overview from teachers' perspectives on the current state of teaching aimed at developing digital competency for students in lower secondary schools for school leaders and educational policymakers in developing strategies, policies and guidelines appropriate to reality in training future human resources to achieve certain proficiency in digital skills.
