Abstract

Abstract: The present research focuses on addressing the relationship between digital competence and teaching innovation in Basic Education at the Saraguro Educational Unit. The adopted methodology follows a positivist perspective, starting from a deductive approach and a quantitative methodological strategy. This approach is rooted in empirical observation and scientific verification, aiming to rigorously understand the dynamics between digital competence and teaching innovation. Considering that the research employs a cross-sectional design and a non-probabilistic, voluntary sampling method to collect data on the institution's teaching staff. The findings reveal a detailed overview of the level of digital competences among educators, highlighting areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in aspects such as information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, security, and problem-solving. These findings offer a solid foundation for the development of strategies aimed at continuous training and improvement to enhance the digital skills of the teaching staff and promote innovative pedagogical practices in the current educational context.
