Abstract

The present study aimed to identify the level of technological skills of social studies teachers in light of the Corona pandemic from their perspectives and the effect of gender, experience, and years of experience variables. The study sample consisted of 554 male and female teachers in the public and private sectors. To that end, a descriptive survey approach was used in addition to a questionnaire consisting of 23 items covering three domains—digital learning, software design, and application software use— which was combined with the descriptive survey approach. The reliability and validity of these items were verified. The results of the study showed that the level of technological skills of social studies teachers was moderate ,The results also revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of technological skills attributed to the variable of the educational sector in favor of the private one, while there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the variables of gender and experience. The researcher recommended the necessity of adapting to the latest technology as an evaluation tool for teachers and holding training courses to qualify them to deal with modern technology in the best way.
