Competencia digital y su relación con la innovación docente en las unidades educativas del cantón Pichincha de la ciudad Quito

Abstract

Abstract: The digital revolution has transformed education, introducing innovations in teaching practices. Teachers now need to acquire digital competencies and employ active pedagogical approaches that incorporate technology. In Ecuador, the digital training of teachers is crucial; however, it poses many challenges to programs and training. During the pandemic, many teachers lacked training, resulting in limitations in the use of information technologies. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify digital competence and teacher innovation. To achieve this, interviews were conducted with three teachers from different educational institutions located in the city of Quito, in order to understand their experiences in implementing technology as a resource. Three samples of studies were chosen to compile information on acquired digital competencies, teacher innovation, experiences, and methodologies used. As a result, the most significant impact observed was the adaptation of digital competencies, enabling teachers to innovate through educational resources using technologies.
