Formación en competencias digitales: análisis a docentes de bachillerato del Cantón Ambato

Abstract

Abstract: Training in digital skills for teachers becomes increasingly essential in today's society, given the urgent need to adapt to technological tools in this constantly evolving digital environment. These competencies encompass the ability to effectively use information and communication technologies (ICT) in different contexts, both personal and professional. Consequently, several countries and entities recognize its importance and are focused on its inclusion in curricula and educational programs. The present study offers an exhaustive analysis of surveys conducted with 15 teachers, of whom work in educational institutions in urban environments, all located in Ambato. These professionals come from areas such as mathematics, physics and natural sciences. The results indicate that 53% of teachers have a fourth-level degree, while 33.33% have third-level degrees. Furthermore, it was evident that 33.00% have relatively limited experience in teaching. This study contributes to the analysis of digital training in the context of Ecuador, highlighting the importance of digital competencies and digital pedagogy in contemporary education.
