The study group of the research consists of Turkish language teacher candidates studying at a university in western Turkey. The data of the study were collected through the 'Forms' internet application of the 'Google' company with a semi-structured observation form. Descriptive analysis technique was used on the collected data. In the study, according to the responses of the prospective Turkish teachers about their digital competencies, it was understood that they saw themselves as low level competent.
