Abstract

The study aimed to assess the digital skills of faculty members at the College of Education, Umm Al-Qura University, and identify factors influencing these skills. It also investigated whether there were statistically significant differences in digital skills based on gender, years of experience, and the number of digital skills courses. The results showed that overall digital skills were at a moderate level. Some skills, like word processing and presentation software, were high, while others, such as using certain educational platforms and programming, were lower. Faculty members believed that factors like IT support, the university's approach to technology, and training influenced their digital skills. Female faculty members had higher digital skills, and those with more experience or courses had better digital skills. The study recommended increasing the focus on enhancing faculty digital skills through technology integration and training.
