Abstract

Abstract: In the educational environment, the management of information and communication technologies has revolutionized the way in which we teach and learn. Teachers must develop skills to take advantage of the benefits of these tools. In this sense, teaching innovation makes it possible to implement teaching and learning methods that integrate ICT to improve educational quality. The research focused attention on the relationship between digital competencies and teaching innovation. Through a survey, the level of digital skills of the teaching staff of the Escuela Cerro Hermoso Educational Unit, located in the province of Pichincha, in Quito, was evaluated during the 2023-2024 school year. It was found that teachers who have a more advanced mastery of digital skills also have a greater capacity to introduce innovative changes in their work. Therefore, improvement and training can drive innovation in learning and have a positive impact. These findings highlight the importance of developing technological skills among teachers as a factor to enhance innovation.
