Abstract

Educational systems have significantly evolved over the last two decades because of technology applications and Internet services. Students' technical and technological competencies (TC) determine a portion of this development's effect on their learning progression. They must be able to effectively utilize educational technology and interactive electronic resources. Therefore, the current study first aimed to assess the extent to which physical education students in Egypt and Saudi Arabia obtain these competencies based on the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE) standards. In addition, the study aimed to determine the differences between physical education students in Egypt and Saudi Arabia in these competencies. Study methods: The study included 657 participants selected from physical education students in Egypt (n = 348) and Saudi Arabia (n = 309). The data collection tools included an electronic questionnaire evaluated by ten experts, containing 35 items that represent educational technology competencies within seven ISTE-defined criteria. Results: By calculating the sum of the actual responses for each standard and calculating the maximum total score for the questionnaire, it was found that the percentage of students' TC significantly varied, ranging between 60 to 75%. In addition, significant differences were found between the groups possessing these technologies and TC (p < .05, η2p = 0.00).
