Abstract
Teachers' digital literacy is an essential prerequisite for them to be able to use technology-enhanced teaching effectively in their pedagogical practice. In 2018, the National Institute of Certified Educational Measurements of the Slovak Republic launched the PIAAC – Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies project, which includes research on key cognitive and non-cognitive competences, reading, mathematical and digital literacy of teachers working at the ISCED 2 level of education – PIAAC online. Teachers' digital literacy is defined as a set of problem-solving skills using information and communication technologies that teachers need for their full-fledged employment in modern society. The authors present in this article a preview of the main results of the PIAAC-online project focusing specifically on teachers' digital literacy. The presented findings of the project confirm a strong correlation between the teachers' level of ICT usage in their personal and professional life.
