Formación en competencias digitales: Análisis a docentes de bachillerato en instituciones del cantón Morona

Abstract

Abstract: Training in digital teacher competencies is becoming increasingly important in today's society because it involves becoming familiar with technological tools as we live in a constantly evolving digital era. These competencies refer to the ability to effectively use and apply information and communication technologies (ICT) in various areas of personal and professional life. Therefore, many countries and organizations recognize the importance of these competencies and are working to integrate them into curriculum and educational programs. Teacher digital training not only focuses on the development of technical skills but also on promoting a pedagogical approach centered on the student and active learning. This work presented the analysis and results of surveys conducted with 15 teachers, five of whom belong to educational institutions located in rural areas and ten in urban areas, all located in the Morona canton. The teachers were from the fields of mathematics, physics, and natural sciences. The results were conclusive: 53% of the teachers have a fourth-level degree, while 47% have third-level degrees. 33% of them have relatively little teaching experience.
