Competencias digitales y su relación con la innovación docente en la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Santa Catalina Laboure de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research work is to analyze the digital competences and their relationship with the teaching innovation of the Santa Catalina Laboure Fiscomisional Educational Unit; their appreciation towards the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their relationship with the educational innovation. The research is qualitative, designed under the interpretivist philosophy, which follows an inductive approach. The sample consisted of three teachers, who represent all the teachers interviewed in the aforementioned school. Data collection was carried out by means of a face-to-face interview instrument. The results on digital competencies and teaching innovation show that most teachers do not develop the dimensions of the knowledge society, therefore, they do not use all the potential and resources offered by ICT to promote educational technological innovation. Similarly, it is highlighted that teachers in one way or another know only certain aspects in relation to information and digital literacy, that is, they know very basic aspects in their work.
