Abstract
The objectives of this study were to (1) analyze and rank the needs for digital assessment literacy of the elementary school teachers’ of Watthatthong School, under Vadhana District Office, Bangkok, and (2) compare the needs for digital assessment literacy of the teachers of the same school but with different backgrounds. The population consisted of 42 teachers of Watthatthong School under Vadhana District Office, Bangkok. The tool was a 5-point rating scale questionnaire. The statistics employed in the analysis of data were descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The modified priority needs index (PNImodified ) was also used.
The results were as follows:

The findings revealed that the needs for digital assessment literacy of the teachers of Watthatthong School under Vadhana District Office, Bangkok, were at the highest level, and the current state of the teachers' collective digital assessment literacy was at the high level. When the teachers' digital assessment literacy needs were classified into 3 steps, they were: (1) basic digital assessment literacy (PNImodified = 0.33); (2) intermediate digital assessment literacy (PNImodified = 0.29) and (3) advanced digital assessment literacy (PNImodified = 0.27)
2. Teachers with different backgrounds needed different digital assessment literacy as follows: (1) The teachers with master's degrees had their priority need index higher than the teachers with Bachelor's degrees or graduate diplomas; and (2) Teachers with 11 years, or more, of experience had their priority need index higher than the teachers with 1-10 years of experience.
