Technology studies that develop in our country without slowing down, as in the world, also show itself in education. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technology in education has become mandatory with the compulsory distance education at national level. This process has shown us that today's students, who are called digital natives, can adapt to the process with teachers who develop themselves and can use technology in lessons. In this case, digital literacy skills of teachers are important for the efficiency of education. In this study, it is aimed to examine the digital literacy skills of classroom teachers depending on various variables. This study was created using the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The study of Turkey's 41 provinces who served a total of 329 classroom teachers from seven regions participated voluntarily. "Personal Information Form" and "Digital Literacy Scale" were used as data collection tools. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was concluded that classroom teachers perceived themselves as digitally literate in the findings related to the first sub-problem of the study. Considering the digital literacy levels of the gender variable, it was concluded that male and female teachers were digitally literate at a similar level. It has been observed that as the age of the classroom teachers increases, the level of digital literacy decreases. In addition, digital literacy levels of teachers with postgraduate education were found to be higher than teachers of other education levels, while the digital literacy levels of teachers with a seniority of 21-25 years were found to be lower than those of other senior teachers. When we look at teachers' daily internet usage and daily digital tools usage, no significant differentiation was observed.
