Spanish Teachers’ Perception of Their Own and Their Students’ Digital Competencies

Abstract

This paper examines Spanish teachers’ perception of their own level of digital competency and that of their students. It works with a sample of 120 Spanish teachers of Primary and Secondary Education. Empirical data is collected through a Likert scale, valid and reliable. The results indicate that teachers perceive high their levels of digital skills. Also they value with medium that of their students. However statistically significant differences were found by relation with specific sociological variables of the sample. The results presented here show that the use of ICT in the classroom consolidates security and command of digital competencies in both teachers and students.
