Reviewer 3 Report

1. The study used statistical analysis to investigate teachers’ digital competence in engaging ICT. 2. The topic is relevant in the field. 3. The study complements the field especially considering the opportunities brought by the pandemic 4. The credibility can be further strengthened by conducting other tests, such as factor analysis, to demonstrate the questionnaire's reliability. Was the questionnaire distributed to 21000 teachers? Or what is the response rate given the 412 responses collected? 5. The conclusion is consistent with the data 6. Personally, I have not seen the reference style used in this paper. Please double-check with the journal.
