Competencia Digital Docente: ¿Dónde estamos?. Perfil del docente de educación primaria y secundaria. El caso de Ecuador

Abstract

El objetivo de la investigación es medir el grado de competencia digital del profesorado de educación básica del Cantón Loja (Ecuador). Podemos inferir que el nivel de competencia digital docente es bajo, aunque no nulo, pues existen evidencias de una tendencia hacia la integración curricular de las TIC especialmente de docentes menores de 30 años y egresados de institutos pedagógicos, independientemente de la titularidad del centro y de otras titulaciones del profesorado.

The objective of this study is to measure the digital competence of elementary school teachers in the district of Loja (Ecuador). For this purpose, and ad hoc instrument was designed, and a stratified non probability sampling technique was applied to public and private educational establishments, obtaining a sample of 420 teachers. We can infer that the level of digital competence is low, but not null, since there is evidence of a trend towards curricular integration of ICT, especially, teachers who are younger than 30 years old and those who have graduated from pedagogical institutes, regardless of the credentials of the establishments and other degrees that teachers may hold.
