The article reviews the problem of digital competences from the digital constructivist learning approach for digital empowerment from formative education of the dimensions: (a) personal, (b) ethical, (c) professional, as opposed to the structuralist definition or functionalist of the connectivist approach, which prioritizes the professional and functional dimension of the competences in the use of information and communication technologies. Digital competences are established as the skills to achieve integration, accessibility, employability and equity of digital communities, valued in the context of the current pandemic and in virtual education, doors of a future of sustainable health and citizenship. [El artículo revisa la problemática de las competencias digitales desde el enfoque de aprendizaje constructivista digital para el empoderamiento digital desde la educación formativa de las dimensiones: (a) personal, (b) ética, (c) profesional, en contraposición a la definición estructuralista o funcionalista del enfoque conectivista, la cual prioriza la dimensión profesional y funcional de las competencias en el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Se establece a las competencias digitales como las destrezas para lograr la integración, accesibilidad, empleabilidad y equidad de las comunidades digitales, valorados en el contexto de la pandemia actual y en la educación virtual  puertas de un futuro de salud y ciudadanía sostenibles].

Competencia Digital

ABSTRACTDuring the last years, Information and Communication Technologies have been included in the educational field, not only as support tools for teachers, but also as an essential part of the training and of the very learning environment. For this reason, the digital competence is considered one of the main competences in the teachers’ professional profile. However, there is a digital divide between the new Pre-School and Primary students, digital natives, and their teachers. Our study aims at knowing the self-perception on the digital competence and the daily habits of use of technology either in professionals of several fields and in students of the Degrees in Pre-School and Primary Education, most of them with working experience, comparing both items with the observation of their performance in blended learning subjects, with a significant online workload for the students. The aim of this communication is to present the initial results of the survey and the comparative analysis, which shows a gap between the self-perception and the usage habits, in order to suggest measures to be implemented in Higher Education.RESUMENA lo largo de los últimos años, las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación se han ido incorporando al ámbito educativo, no solo como herramientas de ayuda al profesorado, sino también como parte integrante de la formación y el propio entorno de aprendizaje. Por este motivo, la competencia digital es una de las principales competencias del perfil profesional de un docente. Sin embargo, existe una brecha digital entre los nuevos alumnos de Infantil y Primaria, nativos digitales, y sus profesores. Nuestro estudio pretende, a través de la realización de encuestas a profesionales de diversos ámbitos y a estudiantes de los Grados en Educación Infantil y Primaria, ya diplomados en Magisterio y con experiencia docente en muchos casos, conocer su autopercepción de la competencia digital y sus hábitos básicos de uso de la tecnología, comparando ambas cuestiones con el desempeño en asignaturas semipresenciales, con una importante carga de trabajo en línea para los estudiantes. El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar los resultados iniciales de la encuesta y del análisis comparativo, que indica un desfase entre la autopercepción y los hábitos de uso, para proponer medidas que puedan tomarse desde las aulas universitarias. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Competencia Digital

La enseñanza online, vinculada a la incorporación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación al ámbito educativo, han supuesto una revolución para los procesos formativos. En este sentido, los small private online courses (SPOC) se convierten en un recurso con el que poder diseñar acciones formativas para el profesorado. Este estudio, mediante un análisis pedagógico y bibliométrico, pretende conocer las características de los SPOC como recurso formativo y la evolución de su producción científica en las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. Los resultados reflejan un aumento significativo de la producción científica en los últimos años, destacando el interés creado en las instituciones universitarias y en las áreas de ciencias de la computación y ciencias sociales. Entre los motivos pedagógicos, encontramos la amplia oferta académica, la personalización del proceso formativo o la mejora de la competencia digital al formarse mediante SPOC. En definitiva, el crecimiento de los SPOC está relacionado con las ventajas que aportan sus características didácticas en un contexto educativo en el que las tecnologías juegan un papel clave, por lo que se convierte en un recurso de interés para la formación de los docentes. E-learning, linked to the incorporation of information and communication technologies in education, has been a revolution for training processes. In this sense, the small private online courses (SPOC) become a resource with which to design training actions for teachers. This study, through a pedagogical and bibliometric analysis, aims to know the characteristics of SPOCs as a training resource and the evolution of its scientific production in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results reflect a significant increase in scientific production in recent years, highlighting the interest created in university institutions and in the areas of computer science and social sciences. Among the pedagogical reasons, we find the wide academic offer, the personalization of the training process or the improvement of the digital competence when being formed through SPOC. In short, the growth of SPOCs is related to the advantages that their didactic characteristics bring in an educational context in which technologies play a key role, so it becomes a resource of interest for teacher training.

We present in this paper the results of a study analyzing the scope and use that teachers make of ICT in classrooms and schools with abundant availability of information and communication technologies: one computer per student, interactive whiteboards, multimedia projectors and internet access. The main goal of this study is to detect models or patterns of educational use of ICT resources available in classrooms related to some personal and professional characteristics of the teachers that took part in the study, such as gender, years of experience, educational stage, digital competence and degree of use of ICT in their daily lives. A descriptive correlational design based on a survey study answered by over 3160 teachers from all over Spain who participated in the School Program 2.0 was used. The results show two clear different patterns of ICT use according to frequency and type of tasks assigned to the students: a weak integration-teaching model against a strong educational integration of ICTs. We come to the conclusion that teachers who develop a model of intensive educational use of ICTs are teachers with many years of professional experience, that make regular use of ICTs and, moreover, perceive themselves as sufficiently trained and with a highly developed digital competence. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio que analizó el grado y tipo de utilización que el profesorado hace de las TIC en aulas con abundante disponibilidad de tecnologías de la información y comunicación: un ordenador por alumno, Pizarra Digital Interactiva, proyectores multimedia y acceso a Internet. El objetivo del estudio fue detectar modelos o patrones de uso didáctico de las tecnologías y relacionarlo con algunas características personales y profesionales del profesorado, tales como el género, los años de experiencia, la etapa educativa, la competencia digital y el grado de uso de las TIC en su vida cotidiana. Se empleó un diseño de tipo descriptivo correlacional basado en un estudio de encuesta donde respondieron más de 3.160 profesores de toda España que participaban en el Programa Escuela 2.0. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que existen dos tipologías nítidas de modelos de uso de las TIC en función de la frecuencia y el tipo de tarea demandada al alumnado: un modelo de integración didáctica débil frente a un modelo de integración didáctica intensa de las TIC. Asimismo, se concluye que el perfil del profesorado que desarrolla un modelo de uso didáctico intensivo de las TIC es un docente con bastantes años de experiencia profesional, ciudadano usuario habitual de las TIC y que, además, se percibe suficientemente formado y con competencia digital.

Competencia Digital

La importancia que han cobrado las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación en la sociedad durante los últimos años ha provocado que la competencia digital sea considerada como clave en el diseño de las políticas educativas y, en consecuencia, que desde diversos ámbitos se hayan desarrollado múltiples instrumentos destinados a la evaluación de las habilidades y destrezas digitales de docentes, discentes y población en general. Es por ello que se ha considerado pertinente analizar diversos tipos de herramientas usadas en la última década en España para el diagnóstico de la competencia digital del alumnado de distintas etapas educativas prestando atención, entre otros aspectos, a los ítems utilizados, la estructura de las herramientas o la metodología empleada. Este trabajo profundiza en el análisis de una serie de investigaciones que, pese a compartir, en muchos casos, aspectos metodológicos, difieren en su visión y concepción de la competencia digital, algo que dificulta el establecimiento de pautas comunes de evaluación, ya que resulta complicado acordar cómo medir una variable cuando la definición de la misma se presta a múltiples interpretaciones. Precisamente la definición de un marco común de referencia en el ámbito educativo que sirva para abordar la evaluación de las habilidades digitales es uno de los retos de investigadores e instituciones, si bien no se trata de una tarea sencilla cuando las tecnologías digitales se caracterizan por los continuos y vertiginosos cambios The impact of Information and Communication Technologies on society in recent years has caused digital competence to be considered the key to designing educational policies and, consequently, the development of numerous instruments for the evaluation of the digital skills and abilities of teachers, students and the population, in general, in several fields. Therefore, it has been considered relevant to analyze various types of tools used in the past decade in Spain for the diagnosis of the digital competence of students from different educational stages, paying attention, among others, to the items used, the structure of the tools or the methodology. This work goes in depth in the analysis of a series investigations that, despite sharing some methodological aspects in many ways, differ in their vision and conception of the digital competence. This makes the establishment of some common evaluation guidelines more difficult, since it is complicated to agree on how to measure a variable when its own definition could be interpreted in several ways. The definition of a common frame of reference in the educational field that serves to address the evaluation of digital skills is precisely one of the challenges of researchers and institutions. However, it is not an easy task when digital technologies are characterized by continuous and vertiginous changes.

Competencia Digital

Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) son usadas cada vez más para el desarrollo de prácticas educativas innovadoras en las distintas etapas educativas. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer si el profesorado tiene adquiridas las competencias digitales necesarias para desarrollar acciones pedagógicas mediante el enfoque de enseñanza flipped learning. El método de investigación se ha efectuado mediante un diseño no experimental de corte descriptivo y correlacional, fundamentado en una metodología cuantitativa. El instrumento utilizado es un cuestionario ad hoc. La muestra está conformada por 627 docentes. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado no utiliza habitualmente el flipped learning en los procesos formativos, principalmente por la falta de confianza hacia dicha metodología y por presentar un bajo nivel competencial en destrezas tecnopedagógicas digitales. Se concluye que los profesionales de la educación analizados no presentan una adecuada competencia digital para poder aplicar flipped learning debido al deficiente nivel de competencia digital revelado, hecho que conlleva una escasa utilización de dicho método. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly used for the development of innovative educational practices at different educational stages. The objective of this research is to know if teachers have acquired the digital skills necessary to develop pedagogical actions through the flipped learning teaching approach. The research method has been carried out through a non-experimental descriptive and correlational design, based on a quantitative methodology. The instrument used is an ad hoc questionnaire. The sample is made up of 627 teachers. The results show that teachers do not routinely use flipped learning in training processes, mainly due to the lack of confidence towards said methodology and because they have a low level of competence in digital techno-pedagogical skills. It is concluded that the educational professionals analyzed do not have adequate digital competence to be able to apply flipped learning due to the deficient level of digital competence revealed, a fact that implies a low use of said method.

The impact and benefit that information and communication technologies (ICT) have in the educational field require new teaching skills. This fact has been increased by the recent crisis caused by COVID-19. This study tries to investigate the level of digital teaching competence (DTC) of Higher Education teachers of Health Sciences, and its relationship with several variables. For this, it has the participation of 300 teachers from the 9 universities of Andalusia (Spain). The research is structured through a descriptive (RQ1) and inferential (RQ2) design. The answers given to the DigCompEdu Check-In questionnaire adapted to the Spanish context are analyzed. The results, which show high levels of reliability of the questionnaire (Cronbach and McDonald) and validity (CFA), indicate that the level of competence is basic-intermediate. In addition, the area in which teachers excel is digital resources. For this reason, it is proposed to structure personalized training plans and continue expanding the characteristics of this study at an international level.

Today, life is more complex and difficult due to uncertainties in society. Liquid life (Bauman, 2006) is frenetic, rapidly changing and highly influenced from information and communication technologies, and forces subjects to adapt to group behavior avoiding exclusion. Human beings are experimenting with the digital age and the pervasiveness of computers and IT/ICT equipment, which are influencing learning and knowledge construction. This raises questions in regard to a privileged role for digital competences in the knowledge society, whether or not there is a framework for digital competence assessment, and possible hints, suggestions, experiments, protocols, or curricula helping teachers in hitting this target with students. This paper answers these questions, describing the evolution of psycho-pedagogical paradigms and their comparisons. A framework for digital competence assessment is proposed and teaching activities are suggested. A proposal of a teaching-learning process called OTS (Open Teaching Process) is also presented.
