There is a positive and significant relationship between teachers 'digital competencies and underlying factors, so that the more teachers' digital competencies increase, the better their underlying factors will be, and vice versa. Digital competence (digital literacy (skills, concepts, approaches, attitudes, etc.), digital use (professional / disciplinary applications), digital transmission (innovation / creativity)), individual factors (professional interaction, selection, training and learning), Underlying factors (assessment, empowerment of learners, facilitating learners' learning) are in a good condition among in-service teachers and have been reported above average.

Accordingly, the elements of technical skills, such as literacy and instrumental skills, form the basis, so the rapid development of the competency-based approach and its application in staff development programs, more than anything else, is due to the many benefits and advantages in this The approach lies.
