Competencias Digitales

  Hace apenas unas décadas, el uso de herramientas digitales en la enseñanza de la educación física y el deporte era un asunto de escaso interés.  No obstante, la acelerada incursión de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la sociedad actual, ha venido convirtiendo en una necesidad imperiosa la adquisición de las denominadas competencias digitales. Este estudio se realizó con la participación de cuatro programas profesionales del ámbito de la educación física y el deporte de la ciudad de Bogotá, con el objetivo de determinar si existen diferencias significativas entre la percepción de estudiantes y docentes sobre el desarrollo de sus competencias digitales en dependencia de variables como la modalidad de estudio, el enfoque académico, el género, la edad, y para el caso de los docentes, también la experiencia profesional y su formación académica. A partir de los resultados hallados a través de las pruebas no paramétricas de Kruskal Wallis, con un nivel de significancia de .05, se determinó que tanto estudiantes como docentes perciben el desarrollo de sus habilidades TIC en un nivel medio alto y se desestimaron diferencias con relación al género y la edad. De otra parte, se concluyó que los estudiantes que hacen parte de programas de formación a distancia, y de línea pedagógica tienen una mejor percepción de estas habilidades a la vez que aquellos docentes con más experiencia y un nivel de formación superior.  Abstract. Just a few decades ago, the use of digital tools in the teaching of Physical Education and Sports was a matter of little interest. However, the expedited incursion of information and communication technologies (ICT) in today's society has made the acquisition of the so-called digital skills an imperative. This study was carried out with the cooperation of four professional programs in the field of Physical Education and Sports in Bogota, with the aim of determining whether there are significant differences between the perception of students and teachers about the development of their digital skills in dependence on variables such as study modality, academic approach, gender, age, and in the case of teachers, also professional experience and academic training. From the results found through the Kruskall Wallis non-parametric tests, with a significance level of .05, it was determined that both students and teachers perceive the development of their ICT skills at a medium-high level, and differences in relation to gender and age were ruled out. On the other hand, it was concluded that students who are part of distance learning programs, and from pedagogical line, have a better perception of these skills, as well as those teachers with more experience and a higher level of training.

Competencias Digitales

La transmisión de la cultura digital es uno de los retos más destacados del actual sistema educativo. La Unión Europea se plantea a través de la Estrategia Europa 2020 mejorar la accesibilidad, el uso y la calidad de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) en las zonas rurales. Para que ello sea posible, se precisan de recursos materiales y profesionales digitalmente competentes. En este estudio se pretende conocer la realidad que viven las escuelas rurales, de la provincia de Albacete, en lo que respecta a la calidad de la TIC, los recursos disponibles y las competencias digitales de sus docentes. Para ello, se ha empleado una metodología descriptiva y se ha utilizado el cuestionario como instrumento de recogida de información. Los resultados demuestran que las intenciones políticas no concuerdan con la realidad encontrada en nuestros datos. Las infraestructuras tecnológicas carecen de la calidad suficiente que posibiliten un acceso a internet de forma segura y eficaz. Por otro lado, los docentes que desempeñan su labor en estos centros hacen un uso limitado de las tecnologías en estas aulas, caracterizadas por ser multinivel, debido a la falta de formación en competencias digitales. The transmission of digital culture is one of the most important challenges of the current education system. The European Union proposes, through the Europe 2020 Strategy, to improve the accessibility, use and quality of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in rural areas. For this to be possible, digitally competent material and professional resources are required. This study aims to know the reality of rural schools in the province of Albacete, in terms of the quality of ICT, the available resources and the digital skills of their teachers. For this, a descriptive methodology has been used and the questionnaire has been used as an information collection instrument. The results show that the political intentions do not match the reality found in our data. Technological infrastructures lack sufficient quality to enable internet access in a safe and efficient way. On the other hand, teachers who carry out their work in these centers make limited use of the technologies in these classrooms, characterized by being multilevel, due to the lack of training in digital skills.

La formación digital tecnocéntrica del profesorado y el uso tradicional de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC), muestran la debilidad del discurso pedagógico frente al tecnológico, confirmando la limitada intencionalidad didáctica de los docentes al usar dichas tecnologías. En educación física se carece de instrumentos específicos para estudiar esa realidad. El objetivo del trabajo fue validar, por el método Delphi, un cuestionario para medir el nivel de conocimiento y la intencionalidad didáctica del profesorado de educación física al usar las TIC, atendiendo a la edad y al género. Posteriormente se aplicó el cuestionario a una muestra representativa de 155 docentes de educación física de enseñanza primaria de Valencia y área metropolitana. Los resultados indican que el cuestionario posee fiabilidad y validez adecuadas para estudiar dichas variables, confirmando elevados conocimientos y mayor intencionalidad didáctica al usar tecnología entre los maestros respecto a las maestras y entre el profesorado joven en relación al de mayor edad. Los hallazgos revelan que los conocimientos predicen positivamente la intencionalidad pedagógica al usar las TIC y que la edad se relaciona negativamente con los conocimientos; también aconsejan alentar políticas de formación del profesorado que mejoren el paradigma técnico imperante, incorporen la perspectiva de género como eje transversal y apoyen modelos de hibridación tecnopedagógica en las aulas.Abstract. The technocentric and traditional training of teachers in the use of the information and communication technologies (ICT) show the weakness of the pedagogical discourse versus the technological discourse, confirming the limited educational intentionality of teachers when using these technologies. Moreover, in subjects such as physical education, there is a lack of specific instruments that allow studying this issue. The objective of the study was to develop and validate, by the Delphi method, a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge and the educational intentionality of physical education teachers when using ICT, considering age and gender factors. Subsequently, the questionnaire was applied to a representative sample of 155 primary school teachers from the city of Valencia and metropolitan area. The results indicated that the questionnaire had a good reliability and validity. The findings also indicated the existence of a high level of knowledge among teachers. In addition, a greater educational intentionality was found among male teachers compared with female teachers, as well as among younger teachers compared with older teachers. Moreover, the results showed that level of knowledge was a positive correlate of educational intentionality, as well as teachers’ age was negatively related to level of knowledge. Considering the present findings, it would be relevant to develop teacher training policies that improve the prevailing technical paradigm and support alternative models that show the educational value of the ICT. This digital immersion could reduce gender and generational barriers to the use of ICT.

Motivating the working population to master digital skills is an important condition for the digital transformation of the Russian economy and companies. The article examines the relationship between the general level of motivation for learning digital skills and a number of factors, assesses the average level of motivation for four groups of skills, and compares the level of motivation between groups of workers and their motives. Empirical data were obtained by conducting an online survey of the working population in March 2020, the target sample was 116 respondents. It was revealed that the general level of motivation of workers to learn decreases with the increasing complexity of digital skills. The hypotheses about the relationship between the level of motivation and the perceived difficulty of using information and communication technologies and previous learning experience were confirmed. Differences between the groups of workers in the level of motivation and the degree of mastering specialized digital skills, related to the nature of the work were revealed. A higher interest in mastering this group of skills, as well as the degree of mastering them, was demonstrated by the group of managers. The strongest motive for acquiring digital skills is the need to use them at work.

For obtaining benefits from using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education sector, technical and management aspects related to the use of ICT are needed. This literature review article focuses on assessing managerial aspects that influence deployment of e-learning technologies. Provision of details in each managerial dimension attempted to cover description of their significance, and the extent to which they influence adoption and usage of e-learning technologies. Key considerations were also extracted and presented as benchmarks for smooth practicality. A stock of existing literature n=81 devoted to the study, were reviewed to capture the specific themes for extracting arguments to acquire a wider perspective of the findings. The downloaded literature was categorised thematically and timely to capture a review of themes and trends on appreciable increase of usage or adoption published respectively. The process supported by NVivo software (version 12). From the findings training seemed the most discussed and considered managerial factor in terms of its significance and influence. It might be so due to its nature and need as it has to be conducted from the initial stage and continuously. The literature seems to be concerned with managerial aspects facilitating e-learning technologies in a holistic way, for stance combining different aspects of training, ultimately reflecting a high level of training aspect analysed. Still, despite some of these aspects being dubbed ‘all inclusive’, many tend to be little reported if we consider the possibilities in terms of those managerial dimensions.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.
