Abstract

This study focused on the crucial need for teachers in modern society to acquire and enhance various skills and knowledge to engage effectively. It assessed the Professional Development and Digital Competency of Teacher Education graduates and their impact on productivity. The study’s objectives included evaluating the teacher’s professional development in aspects like shared leadership, shared values, collective learning, and supportive conditions and assessing their digital competency in terms of anxiety, productivity, importance, and confidence. Teacher’s professional development was moderately demonstrated, while digital competency showed a high level of importance but moderate levels of anxiety, productivity, and confidence. The productivity of teacher education graduates was evident, and there was a significant correlation between their Professional Development and Digital Competency and productivity. Notably, the variables that emerged as the most influential determinants of productivity were supportive conditions in professional development and the teacher’s perceived importance and confidence in digital competency. These results imply that sustainable and result-oriented efforts must be experienced to further align teacher education with the evolving demands of modern society, suggesting that teachers should proactively assimilate and accommodate feedback, stay updated with technology, participate in online communities, engage and be intrinsically motivated in self-directed learning, and reflect on their practices to enhance productivity.
