Percepción de los docentes de educación básica acerca de las competencias digitales en la creación de contenidos educativos digitales en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study was to diagnose the perception of Basic General Education teachers regarding their digital competencies in the creation of digital educational content in the city of Loja. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive scope. The sample consisted of 17 teachers from a Basic General Education institution in the city of Loja, who participated with informed consent. Data were collected through a digital questionnaire based on a European framework for digital competence for educators, aimed at assessing dimensions related to the use of digital resources, the pedagogical integration of technology, and the ethical use of digital content, using a Likert-type scale and adapted to the local context. The results revealed differentiated levels in teachers perceptions of digital competencies. Although an adequate level of proficiency in the use of digital tools was observed, limitations were identified in the pedagogical and ethical integration of technology, showing the need to strengthen teacher training.
