Summary/Abstract: The significance of teachers' pedagogical digital competency for teaching has rapidly expanded with the worldwide pandemic. This study compares public school teachers' pedagogical digital competencies (PDC) across many parameters. A self-assessment scale created through a project funded by the European Commission was utilized in the study. This scale measures four aspects of instructors' technology-enhanced teaching proficiency. 204 teachers from various branches who worked in Turkish provinces' public schools made up the participants. According to the survey, 42% of participants were proficient, and 35% were beginners. It was discovered that teachers of science courses had higher PDC than social and other topics teachers. Additionally, teachers who had attended in-service IT training either because it was obligatory or on their own will had significantly higher PDC than those who had not. The sub-dimensions of digital content use and production as well as digital communication and collaboration, had the participants' lowest scores.
