Digital competencies of basic education teachers: a recent look from an online training

Abstract

The study proposes to explore, through questionnaire data analysis (Bardin, 1995), the changes in the perception of experiences in digital competencies of a group of primary and secondary education teachers who undertook the course for trainers in digital competencies organised by UNED-CAB-OEI with funding from AECID, during the period from February 2021 to August 2022. A qualitative research was proposed with an intentional sample composed of 15 primary and secondary education teachers from different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, with similar occupations and who voluntarily participated in the study. The objective of this approach is to reflect on the relationship between the digital competencies of teachers, their experience during this training program and their previous competencies in the use of information and communication technologies under the ICT skills standards in Latin America from the theoretical parameters of public policies systematised in official documents of countries such as Brazil and Ecuador.
