Since 1978, the Committee on Academic Standards and Accreditation (CASA, a standing committee of the American Educational Studies Association) has maintained the Standards for Academic and Professional Instruction in Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, and Educational Policy Studies. The Standards are a policy document intended as a powerful curriculum policy tool for faculty and higher education administrators across North America to use to develop foundations and educator preparation programming with disciplinary integrity and to maintain said programs with fidelity. As pressures to provide accountability and improvement measures or attach outcomes to disciplines in education increase, especially teacher education, foundations faculty and programs are challenged in their efforts to both build strong foundations programming and resist the push to dilute or otherwise embed the intellectual and practical work of the discipline into other, mostly unrelated, courses. The Standards provide language and support for foundations scholars housed in teacher education departments to hone their craft, generate good programming, and develop good scholars and P–12 practitioners.

Partiendo del interés social y educativo actual, este artículo pretende conocer el estado de la cuestión en el campo de la Competencia Digital Docente (CDD), con la finalidad de saber cómo se encuentra el trabajo de estas destrezas tanto en el ámbito teórico como empírico. Para ello se han recopilado diferentes modelos que destacan por su uso como guías de formación para facilitar su desarrollo. Este estudio ha tenido en cuenta diferentes países e instituciones, así como sus características, finalidades y dimensiones. Además en todas se remarcan investigaciones que los modelos emplean para favorecer la adquisición de estas competencias, así como su análisis en controversias y perspectivas de la comunidad educativa y la praxis en las políticas educativas. A lo largo de todos estos modelos de CDD, se ha podido comprobar la gran carga de responsabilidad tanto a nivel institucional como del profesorado en la adquisición de competencias digitales, para poder responder a las demandas sociales y educativas planteadas en todos los niveles de formación. Due to the current interest in the Teacher Digital Competence (TDC), both from the social and education fields, this article shows its state-of-art, in order to find out how the work on these skills is going both theoretically and empirically. Thus, we compile different models that stand out as training guides that facilitate TDC's development. We analyze different countries and institutions for this study, as well as their characteristics and purposes. For each model, we highlight research results that the models are based on to facilitate gaining TDC skills. We analyze how the educational community evaluates them and their results after their implementation in educational policy. We reveal that each TDC model implies a great burden of responsibility for institutions and educators. In order to be able to respond to the social and educational requirements raised at all levels of training, all models strongly rely on the educational community to gain digital competence.

This article presents the theoretical model of biographical analysis with an emphasis on the discourse technique applied to successive stages and situations in educators-subjects’ daily experiences. Educators’ discourse media reflective of subjective orientations are analyzed as to the structure through which political and educational processes are channelled. Discourse analysis aids in locating key elements around which an educator’s identity and school-educational realities take shape. Competing and conflicting causes highlighting divisions of educators teaming up in different educational domains of interest are recorded. The paper focuses on a meta-analysis of the subject-educators as users of educational legislation and as mediators among the Ministry of Education and government (who formulates policy and legislates on the operation of schools), the educational community, and broader society which is the receptor of a specific educational policy. Educational policy is expressed by concentration on pivotal educational moments arising from legislatively expressed political discourse and then converted into educational practice in the school environment. Educational policy, as discourse, intervenes, clarifies meanings drawing on policy, the economy and culture at large, and analyzes, synthesizes and influences lawmaking by means of discourse. Biographical analysis utilizes the educators- subjects’ discourse analysis, which defines and signifies express and implied educational career experiences of educational policy micro-history. The educators- subjects’ discourse retrospectively interprets political activity, cultural events, educational stages, bringing to surface the dynamics of educational policy itself. Their discourse, as a language complex serves as building stock for working conditions, educational expectations and their own relationship with the educational environment through a momentum of successive phases. The discourse order as analysis of educational term analysis highlights structural limitations, as well as development or intervention potentialities by individuals to the educational model. This paper presents both the discourse of the educators-subjects and their written words in personal notes so that narratives of the past can be compared with analyses written while educational events were taking place. The educators-subjects’ use of pictorial context resulted in a visual record of the educational milieu, so that interrelations, identities, and situations evolving in it may be crystallized. In condensed time and space, members of the educational community provide a complex presentation their own evolution in an interactive, transcending narrative that uses effective recollection and a logical process permeated by emotional nuances. The narrative and the written word that reflect educators-subjects’ personal experiences are checked against existent files for period research so that the micro-history of educational policy may be defined as to structure and content. Biographical analysis is based on linguistics textual discourse which reproduce social political and cultural processes. Discourse is reformulated in consolidated language evolving in a dynamic educational milieu. Text analysis interprets ideological positions and theorizes on educational practices and educational policy itself. Special weight ought to be given to the interpretation by educators-subjects who reproduce social relationships and political conditions by means of their discourse practices.
