Competencia digital y su relación con la innovación docente en Unidades Educativas del Cantón Sígsig y la Ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

Abstract: As technology has advanced, challenges have arisen to which teachers must adapt and update their strategies and methods to improve the teaching-learning process (TL). The main objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between digital competence and innovation of Basic Education teachers in Ecuador. For this purpose, an inductive approach based on the interpretive philosophy is adopted and a qualitative methodology is used. Three study samples were selected, two of them composed of teachers from a Basic Education school in the city of Cuenca and one teacher from the Educational Unit of the Sígsig canton. Through interviews, data were collected on the experiences, perspectives and practices of teachers in relation to digital competence and teaching innovation. The results were analyzed using a matrix and a diagram. The result with the greatest impact shows the development of digital skills, which allows teachers to access educational resources and use technological tools such as Classroom, Zoom, PowerPoint, among others.
