Many recent proposals in music education relate to digital technologies. Technology can act as a mediator in the teaching-learning processes. Educators’ digital competence comprises the knowledge and skills in both instrumental and didactic use and methodological use that each teacher possesses. This work focuses on music education teachers at Spanish universities. It examines their knowledge of different digital resources, use of them to prepare classes, use of them in class and teaching of them, as well as considering how they learned to use these resources and any problems they encounter while teaching them. For this purpose, an ad hoc questionnaire was administered to a total of 93 teachers from 45 different universities. The results show superficial knowledge of technologies, limited use in class preparation, minimal use in class and almost non-existent teaching. They also reflect teaching staff who are largely self-taught and who complain of the limited resources available in the classroom.

Today, technology is a major issue in society, so it is essential to have acquired digital competence in order to be successful in it. An example of the growing use of technology in education is the didactic use of Augmented Reality, which offers the area of science a wealth of possibilities to facilitate the teaching-learning process. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of digital competence on the use of augmented reality as a teaching resource in science-related classes. The method used is quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, correlational and predictive. The data collection has been carried out through an ad hoc questionnaire on digital teaching competence and augmented reality with different levels of response. The results show that augmented reality is a resource that has been used by teachers teaching science, presenting them with an average level of digital competence. We conclude by stating that teachers who use augmented reality are more digitally competent than those who do not..

A quantitative study was carried out with the aim of analyzing the perspective of the students in relation to the factors that have influenced quality teaching during the confinement period resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. To do this, an ad hoc questionnaire was designed and conducted in the months of June–July 2020. The sample consisted of 893 people who were studying at various Spanish universities. The results show little diversity in teaching methodologies; virtual teaching was carried out with the same parameters as face-to-face teaching. The role of the student body was one of passivity, consisting of little interaction with the teachers. Although it is true that there were no difficulties in following the course, there was limited attention paid to the emotional well-being of the students. Amongst the conclusions garnered significant, we point out the need to develop the adaptability of university teaching staff to unforeseen situations, as well as a continuing reflection on the model used in the teaching process mediated by digital technologies and the importance of promoting greater autonomy and self-regulation during learning.

The article identifies the cognitive and functional components of the modern teachers’ digital competence. International standards of UNESCO (ICT-CFT), digital competence framework for citizens (DigComp 2.1 and DigCompEdu) and Norwegian digital competence framework for teachers (Professional Digital Competence Framework for Teachers) are analyzed in the article. Based on the analysis of European digital competency documents, five structural elements of the cognitive and functional components of digital competence have been identified (functioning in operating systems and office applications; digital technologies for communication, collaboration, self-development, Internet safety, searching, creating, promoting and using of digital resources; digital technologies in inclusive education; academic integrity and copyright). The weight of the structural elements and their components are determined by the method of expert assessment: functioning in operating systems and office applications, communication and collaboration, safety in the digital society, search and use of digital resources, creating and promoting own digital resources, information and ability to handle data, using digital technologies in inclusive education, integrity and copyright, the usage of licensed software. The above description of the functional and cognitive components of the modern teacher's digital competence is focused on the application in postgraduate teacher education as well as in non-formal teacher education and can be the basis for the curriculum development or the tool for assessing the teacher's digital competence. It is proved that the national digital competence standards development on the basis of the European digital competence framework, the creation of an appropriate legal basis, the development of regional training programs for teachers in the field of digital technologies contribute to the teachers' digital competence and their professional development.

The education sector is undergoing significant challenges in the process of transforming learning models in order to face the new requirements of our hyper-connected society. Teaching students how to adequately interact as active and committed citizens in our knowmadic global society is the most challenging task facing educators nowadays. Moreover, the university must consider a student’s knowledge of digital technologies to be able to design new educational models that respond to their current needs. The aim of our research is to assess that knowledge and the use of digital technologies among college students and the relationship this has with their prior academic experience. Data collection included a validated ad-hoc questionnaire divided into 16 categories applied to 757 students of both sexes between 20 and 57 years of age. The results show that, irrespective of gender and age, those students who have used Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in their secondary education have a better knowledge of how to use them to their advantage throughout their university learning process. In conclusion, students need to undergo a training in digital skills before entering university, so as to equip them with a higher level of digital competence.

Introduction. The article presents the results of reflection on the readiness of the education system to respond to the transformational challenges of digital economy through the formation of relevant human resources. It identifies an imbalance in the response of the education system to the demand of society and business for training human resources with digital competences. The imbalance makes it difficult to implement new in-demand educational trajectories based on the principle of individualization of employee’s professional and personal self-realization. The purpose of the study is to identify the potential of enhancing teachers' digital competence in accordance with the needs of education diversification within digital transformation. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis for the study consists of reflexive modernity concepts (E. Giddens, W. Beck), reflecting qualitative changes of the social world in the context of digitalization; digital sociology of changes in social relations influenced by digital technologies (V. F. Nitsevich), mediating ordinary social contacts in everyday communication and creating new digital opportunities and risks. Existing and required digital competences of teachers were identified on the basis of desk research of teachers’ digital skills and competences models and empirical research on technical university teachers' opinions (survey method). Statistical methods were used to analyze and interpret the research data. Results. The study has identified the potential of the education system to adjust to the challenges of educational and career transformations. It is emphasized that the ways of potential realization can vary from ‘soft’ ones which imply gradual mastering based on several program versions and formats to the so called stress-options of forced competence mastering within a limited period of time. The necessity of introducing regulating measures for the transition to a new role of a teacher in the digital model of education is justified (e.g. teacher as a manager, teacher as a facilitator of the educational process). Conclusions. The article concludes that differentiation based on the level of digital competences and the degree of readiness to master digital technologies limits the speed of relevant response of the education system to the transformational demands of society. The need for content elaboration and teaching health-saving technologies within the digital culture is highlighted. Since the level of digital competencies of teaching staff is the basis for the development of educational institutions and the competitiveness of the country, measures are to be taken in order to facilitate the development of digital competencies.

We analyze the perceptions of Social Sciences faculty about their own information and digital competence and that of their students, as well as the changes that have occurred as a consequence of the virtualization of learning caused by the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19). The methodology used is qualitative, being based on the application of two techniques: discussion groups carried out with experienced faculty from three Spanish universities, and interviews carried out with the same sample after the suspension of face-to-face teaching. The results show that the faculty members participating in this study have a critical vision of the information and digital competence of the student body, indicating that they lack capacity for evaluation, critical use, and communication of information despite their mastery of technological tools and extensive use of mobile devices. In addition, they doubt their own ability to train students in this competence, and attribute the difficulty in achieving and promoting such learning to various factors of the university culture: a lack of coordination among teaching staff, who are sometimes in situations of job insecurity, or the way in which the European Higher Education Area has been applied in universities. Faculty recognize the basic and transversal nature of this competence and advocate its incorporation into the real work methodology of all subjects, not in a segregated way. Finally, the effort made towards the “virtual” development of teaching as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic has been a shock for faculty, who declare a positive attitude towards reviewing their own digital-informative practices to adapt their teaching, but believe that this has hardly resulted in any improvement in the information and digital competence of their students so far.

RESUMEN: La implementación de las TIC en los centros educativos es una realidad que afecta a muchos docentes que – desafortunadamente – presentan una competencia escasa en su manejo y su conocimiento. Es por ello que diferentes proyectos estatales y autonómicos se han centrado en desarrollar una formación en competencia digital hacia estos docentes con la finalidad de cambiar este panorama. El presente trabajo tiene como objeto conocer la incidencia del proyecto INNOVACOOP en el cuerpo docente de una cooperativa de enseñanza de la Ciudad Autónoma de Ceuta (España). El método del trabajo es experimental de tipo pretest y postest, en la que se ha aplicado entre ambos, un plan de formación blended learning sobre competencia digital. La medición de respuestas se llevó a cabo a través de la creación de un cuestionario ad hoc que trató las diferentes dimensiones que conforman la competencia digital, así como factores personales y motivacionales. Con las respuestas recabadas se realizó un análisis descriptivo-correlativo, en la que se pretendió con la utilización de la prueba t-student conocer diferencias significativas entre las medias de ambos test, así como diferencias significativas entre los tamaños de efecto a través de la d de Cohen y la correlación biserial. Los resultados reflejaron una mejora considerable en las diferentes dimensiones de la competencia digital, así como en la receptividad y motivación de los docentes hacia las TIC y su utilización en el aula, quedando patente la importancia de seguir trabajando en la formación permanente sobre tecnología en profesores en ejercicio. PALABRAS CLAVE: competencia digital; profesorado; blended learning.   ABSTRACT: The implementation of ICT in schools is a reality that affects many teachers, who – unfortunately – have little competence in their management and knowledge. That is why different state and autonomous projects have focused on developing a digital competence training for these teachers in order to change this landscape. The purpose of this paper is to know the impact of the INNOVACOOP project on the teaching staff of a teaching cooperative in Ciudad Autónoma de Ceuta (Spain). The work method is experimental pretest and posttest, in which a blended learning plan on digital competence has been applied between both. The measurement of responses was carried out through the creation of an ad hoc questionnaire that dealt with the different dimensions that make up the digital competence, as well as personal and motivational factors. With the collected answers, a descriptive-correlative analysis was carried out, in which it was intended with the use of the t-student test to know significant differences between the means of both tests, as well as significant differences between the effect sizes through the d of Cohen and the biserial correlation. The results reflected a considerable improvement in the different dimensions of digital competence, as well as in the receptivity and motivation of teachers towards ICT and its use in the classroom, being clear the importance of continuing working in permanent training on technology in teachers in exercise. KEYWORDS: digital competence; teachers; blended learning.

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) tienen un papel esencial en la sociedad. En consecuencia, en el ámbito educativo, se ha incrementado la presencia de dispositivos tecnológicos y de contenidos orientados al fomento de la competencia digital de los estudiantes. Para alcanzar este propósito, es necesario que el profesorado incorpore, en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, recursos digitales y metodologías que promuevan en el alumnado el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de habilidades digitales. Con este estudio se pretende conocer el uso que hacen de las TIC los maestros tutores de Educación Primaria de colegios públicos de la Región de Murcia.  Así, se analizan, principalmente, cuáles son los recursos digitales y las estrategias metodológicas que suelen emplear en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje estos docentes. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una investigación, de tipo descriptiva y desde la metodología cuantitativa, en la que la recogida de datos se ha realizado a través de un cuestionario elaborado para este estudio, que fue contestado por un total de 133 docentes. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que, aunque se han llegado a introducir metodologías activas, los docentes encuestados no utilizan con frecuencia en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje recursos tecnológicos innovadores ni metodologías emergentes en el uso de las TIC. Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an essential role in society. Consequently, in the educational field, the presence of technological devices and contents aimed at promoting the digital competence of students has increased. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary for teachers to incorporate, in the teaching-learning process, digital resources and methodologies that promote learning and digital skills development in students. The aim of this research is to find out the use of ICT by Primary Education tutors in public schools in the Region of Murcia. Thus, we analyze, mainly, which are the digital resources and the methodological strategies that these teachers usually use in the teaching-learning process. To this end, a descriptive investigation is carried out from the quantitative methodology, in which the collection of data has been carried out through a questionnaire prepared for this study, which was answered by a total of 133 teachers. The results obtained reveal that, although active methodologies have been introduced, the teachers surveyed do not often use innovative technological resources or emerging methodologies in the use of ICT into the teaching-learning process.
