The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between pre-service teachers' digital instructional material development self-efficacy, digital literacy skills and critical thinking dispositions. The data were collected using the Digital Instructional Material Development Self-Efficacy Scale, Digital Literacy Scale and Critical Thinking Disposition Scale. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data obtained from the study. According to the results of the study, digital literacy and critical thinking disposition are significant predictors of pre-service teachers' self-efficacy in developing digital teaching materials. In addition, the technical sub-dimension of digital literacy and the cognitive maturity sub-dimension of critical thinking disposition were found to be significant predictors of pre-service teachers' self-efficacy in developing digital teaching materials.
