With the advancement of technology, the integration of digital technologies has increasingly been observed in pedagogical approaches. The current study seeks to explore various subjective factors related to teachers, such as their teaching styles, age, classes taught, educational qualifications, and years of experience, in relation to their individual digital competencies and the extent of digital inclusivity in their pedagogies. Three psychometric scales were employed for data collection (TSI-Q, DiPeCoS, and TDiCoS). Data were gathered from 215 school teachers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and subsequently analysed. The results revealed a significant influence of teaching styles (p = 0.045), classes taught (p = 0.001), age (p = 0.006), and years of teaching experience (p = 0.016) on the digital inclusivity of the teachers' pedagogical practices. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
