Abstract

Abstract: The study addresses the training and digital competencies of teachers in Ecuador, highlighting the importance of these skills in the contemporary educational environment. Through a detailed analysis, the areas of information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, security and technological problem solving are explored. The results indicate a high level of mastery in most of the competencies assessed, although some difficulties were identified, especially in the understanding and application of digital security concepts. The research also highlights the need for continuous and specific training for teachers to improve their ability to effectively integrate digital technologies into the educational process. The recommendations suggest a more participatory approach to students in educational institutions and the exploration of diverse topics, not limited to technology. The study underlines the importance of the guidance and support of academic mentors in the professional development of teachers, thus contributing to the advancement of education in the country.
