Competencia digital y su relación con la innovación docente en unidades educativas del cantón Quito y Rumiñahui

Abstract

Abstract: The pandemic turned the educational field upside down, leading teachers to immediately develop digital competencies. An inductive, cross sectional and phenomenological study is proposed. It is based on an interview with the participating teachers. Firstly, contact with nearby teachers, secondly, providing a form of consent for data confidentiality, thirdly, interview questions, fourthly, arranging a virtual meeting for sending and receiving data, and fifthly, the transcription of the interview. The type of methodology developed in the study is interpretivism or hermeneutics that investigates the purpose, causes and daily situations related to the social environment. In the results, self training is determined as the main axis used by the interviewed teachers of the institutions of Ecuador for the strengthening of digital competences, as well as the support of fellow teachers, generating positive implications in the teaching-learning process by strengthening technological skills to create, store, present and exchange digital information towards teaching innovation in Ecuador.
