Competencias digitales y su relación con la innovación docente en la Unidad Educativa Particular Nuevo Continente , de la ciudad Guayaquil, provincia del Guayas, año lectivo 2023 - 2024

Abstract

Abstract: The research conducted at the Nuevo Continente Private Educational Unit in Guayaquil, Ecuador, during the 2023-2024 school year, has provided a detailed view of the relationship between digital competence and teaching innovation at the institution. The findings show that while there is considerable mastery in certain areas of digital competence, such as the identification of needs when searching for data in online environments and the use of search strategies, there are still aspects that require consolidation. For example, critical evaluation of data accuracy, accessing needed information online, and attention to the reliability of sources are areas that need further development. These results highlight the importance of continuing to strengthen education and training in digital competencies for teachers, as well as implementing specific strategies to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching in an increasingly digitized environment. In addition, they highlight the need to promote pedagogical innovation that effectively integrates digital tools to enhance learning and the educational experience.
