Digital literacy skills play a central role in the professional growth of teachers, and the educational spaces of schools, as a suitable platform, play an important role in improving the digital skills of teachers. In the schools of the future, technology-based learning is an increasingly influential factor in education. The purpose of this research is to determine and prioritize the criteria and components of digital competency of teachers in the teaching-learning process of future schools.

This study was conducted with an exploratory approach based on a survey strategy using the opinions of experts and pundits in this field. In this research, in order to identify the important criteria and components, the Delphi method was used, and to calculate their weight and priority, the multi-criteria decision-making method of entropy and fuzzy TOPSIS was used.

The findings of the research indicate that the criteria of e-learning, digital resources, digital participation, empowering learners and digital assessment, respectively, will play an important role in the level of individual qualifications and requirements related to technological learning in future school teachers.
