Abstract

As a professional teacher candidate in the 21st century, prospective biology teachers have to master ICT-based learning. The ability to integrate ICT in the teaching and learning process is called digital competence. This study aims to analyze the digital competence of prospective biology teachers through working on video projects in molecular biology courses. By using mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative research), this research was carried out on 2nd semester biology students who were the subject of the study, accounting for 35 students. Questionnaires, observations and interviews are the data collection techniques used. Quantitative data were obtained from questionnaire scores while for qualitative data obtained from observations and interviews. Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the study show that the digital competence of prospective biology teachers for information and communication skills are in the high category. The dimensions of content-creation and problem solving are in the medium category, and safety is in the low category
