Abstract

Abstract: The present research addresses the analysis of digital competencies and their relationship with teaching innovation at the Guillermo Maldonado Valencia Educational Institution, Province of El Oro, city of Zaruma, during the period 2023-2024. The objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between digital competency and teacher innovation in the educational institution. The sample consisted of eight teachers from said educational institution. To obtain data, mixed methods were employed, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. Techniques included structured surveys and online open interviews. The instruments used were questionnaires and a categorized table to organize and analyze the teachers' responses. The results revealed that teachers possess a satisfactory level of overall digital competency, with notable skills in information and data literacy. However, areas for improvement were also identified, particularly in content creation and digital security management. While teachers have adequate digital competencies, it is essential to continue improving these skills to ensure quality education that meets the needs of the digital era.
