Abstract

Context and relevance. The questionnaire "Intensity of use of digital technologies" has been standardized. The questionnaire allows us to identify the frequency of teachers using digital technologies in three different areas (labor, leisure, and communication), which are reflected in the scales. The questionnaire includes 15 statements (5 on each scale) and an overall score that characterizes the overall intensity of digital technology use. Objective: to standardize the questionnaire on the intensity of the use of digital technologies by teachers in various fields of activity (labor, leisure, communication). Methods and materials. The following techniques were used: 1) the questionnaire "Intensity of use of digital technologies"; 2) the methodology "Assessment of occupational stress" (K. Weyman); 3) a scale of respondents' self-assessment of the frequency of digital technology use, which included the frequency of digital technology use in general and the time spent on daily work in a digital environment; 4) calculation of mathematical statistics: Cronbach's alpha to calculate internal consistency; Spearman's correlation coefficient to assess cross-sectional and subjective validity; the arithmetic mean and standard deviation for determining the standard averages. The subjects: 100 teachers who carry out professional activities in general education institutions of the Russian Federation. The average age of the subjects was 40,88±11,38 years. Results. The questionnaire has high reliability and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0,855; 0,839; 0,776). The cross-validation assessment showed the presence of statistically significant positive correlations between all the questionnaire indicators and the respondents' occupational stress level (r = 0,216—0,410). The subjective validity of the developed questionnaire was revealed, which is expressed in statistically significant correlations with the scale of respondents' self-assessment of the frequency of digital technology use (r = 0,228—0,394). The high synchronous reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed (r = 0,414—0,745). The standard age values of indicators of the intensity of the use of digital technologies in the work of teachers for four age groups are given: 1) under 35 years old; 2) 36—55 years old; 56—65 years old; 4) over 65 years old. Conclusions. The procedure for standardizing the questionnaire and the obtained psychometric characteristics, indicating high reliability, consistency and validity, allow it to be recommended for use in scientific research to assess the intensity of the use of digital technologies by teachers in various fields of activity.
