Abstract

Abstract: The research analyses the relationship between digital competences and teaching innovation using a positivist, deductive and quantitative approach. A survey was conducted among teachers from the Rafael Bucheli Educational Unit to assess their empowerment in the face of technological change. The results demonstrate a significant relationship between digital competence and teaching innovation, highlighting the usefulness of replacing traditional methods with information technologies, benefiting teachers and students. The study is based on concepts from relevant authors, publications and reference frameworks such as the Common Framework for Digital Competence in Teaching (Spain) and UNESCO ICT competency standards for teachers. Web 2.0 tools are described as educational support, including blogs, cloud-based content tools and innovative platforms that foster critical and creative thinking in students. The research contributes to scientific knowledge with a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate digital skills and a validated model of educational innovation to support innovative teaching practices, in order to contribute to streamlining teaching management and the learning outcomes that are expected to be achieved.
