The study adopted the descriptive methodology where a three-section questionnaire was designed to identify the technological competencies required for the teaching staff for using the educational devices, using the internet, and in employing technological applications in light of the digital transformation requirements. The study sample consisted of 190 teaching staff members. The results showed that the technological competencies required for the teaching staff at Hail University scored high whereas the technological competencies in using the internet scored very high. The technological competencies in employing technological applications scored high whereas the technological competencies in using educational devices were average. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the responses of the teaching staff members based on the variables: gender, academic degree, years of experience and the academic major. However, there were statistically significant differences attributed to the number of technological training courses they had taken. In light of these results, the study recommends that more training courses should be taken by the teaching staff in using educational devices such as document cameras. The study also recommends that the level of digital transformation in the educational process should be extended to include undergraduate education, and pre university educational stages.
