The research activities have been organized and realized taking into account the undisputable fact that digital competence is the key one for lifelong learning. The research methodology for generalizing theoretical material and empirical data collecting implies combining theoretical (analysis and synthesis) and empirical (a web-based questionnaire, individual interviews, conversations with respondents and analysis of reflexive texts) methods of investigation. The research sample consists of 1284 general secondary schoolteachers from different regions of Ukraine.
