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.

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.

The application of some technologies in the educational field, especially the computer, has been causing this process to undergo considerable changes. The new information and communication technologies (TICs) are beginning to be used in the construction of knowledge. Looking to discuss this issue, this paper proposes to establish a discussion about the use of computers in education; the positive and negative aspects of TICs; and on some technologies for teaching chemistry, pointed out as tools that favor learning in a pleasant and pleasant way. Through the knowledge resulting from this study, it is verified that improving the teaching-learning process, especially of chemical discipline, is not an inherent attribute of the various digital resources available for this, but a consequence that is tied to the way in which they are used. It is the function of the teacher to conciliate all these resources at his disposal to better prepare and teach his classes, always establishing a dialogic and dynamic relationship with the student.

The purpose of this investigation is to initiate the discussion of the digital strategy and its differences for the enterprises depending on the business size. The objective of this investigation is to define the essence of digital strategy for enterprises depending on the enterprise business size. In order to achieve this goal the following scientific tasks are defined: to reveal the essence of the concept of the enterprise digital strategy; to determine the components of the enterprise digital strategy depending on the s business. In order to achieve these objectives, analysis of indicators of information and communication technologies application at the enterprises of Ukraine (including small businesses) and EU countries in 2019 is carried out. Analysis of statistical information makes it possible to conclude that implementation of digital strategies or their elements at Ukraine enterprises is due to the annual growth of the digital data share which is created, stored and processed. The authors summarized the results of scientific developments concerning the essence of the enterprise «digital strategy» concept. An integrated approach for the determination of the digital strategy place and role defines that the enterprise digital strategy is subordinate to the enterprise corporate strategy, and its application provides the implementation of enterprise strategic objectives due to the digital resources use. In large and medium-sized businesses, the operation and integration of digital technology deals with a large part of the company and can go beyond its limits affecting products, business-processes, sales channels and supply chains. The potential benefits of digitalization have the impact on sales or productivity growth, creation of new value or new forms of interaction with contractors. As for small business digital strategy, it is the basis for the enterprise business strategy formed intuitively taking into account the market needs and it is based on the capabilities of the digital economy due to the application of digital resources in various business functions. The main components of the small business digital strategy are more flexible and are based on personalized ways of attracting customers and form a new value proposition of the enterprise by integration of information and communication technologies in products and services. Particularly, the objectives of small business digital strategy will be achieved by means of the following tools: digital marketing; business process digitization; Internet presence; e-commerce; business flexibility management.

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.
