Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between digital competencies and teaching innovation in Ecuador. The quantitative methodological route was used, in which seven teachers from a public educational institution in the city of Loja participated as a sample. The tool used for data collection in this study was the survey, which was applied on digital competencies, divided into five areas; information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, security and problem solving. Technological progress is increasingly evident, which is why it is important to analyze whether teachers currently possess and develop digital competencies that allow them to perform better in the workplace. When evaluating the results, it can be said that teachers have a high level of digital literacy, except in the creation of digital content where the results are lower. The results of this study can serve as a guide for future research as it reveals in which areas teachers are more prepared and in which they have deficits.
