Abstract
This study examines university lecturers' attitudes toward digitization in higher education and how they influence their actual practices in the teachers' training. Sixty-two lecturers participated in the study. A methodology involving interviews and classroom observations was used to identify similarities and differences in university lecturers' strategies for integrating digital technologies in teaching. The study provides a reliable picture of lecturers' attitudes toward digital technologies in the training of future teachers, as well as their approaches to their integration into real practice. A correlation was found between lecturers' attitudes and the range and diversity of digital practices. Lecturers who exhibited positive and critical attitudes incorporated more interactive and creative teaching activities, whereas those with neutral or pragmatic attitudes tended to adopt more limited use of digital tools. The study highlights the need to improve digital practices in teacher training programs in Bulgaria by encouraging university lecturers to participate in lifelong learning activities focused on the field of digital pedagogical competence.
