Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has created ample distance learning opportunities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

ICT competence is considered a part of pre-service teachers' professional competencies that apply technology in teaching and assessing students. This study aimed to determine the ICT competence level of student teachers by using ICT self-assessment surveys and find out the factors that affect student competence. The ICT competence structure was built based on four ICT skills frameworks containing 05 components: Using computers, using teaching and assessment applications, Using Internet resources, using peripheral devices, Communicating on an online platform. 289 pre-service teachers have participated in the survey. They self-assessed their ICT competence and answered the questionnaire about their training activities at university. The data was analyzed using the PLS-SEM method and found the positive impacts of infrastructure and learning activities on pre-service teachers' ICT competence.
