Digital competences of university professors during the covid-19 pandemic in Peru

Abstract

Information and communication technologies have had a significant impact on people's quality of life in recent years. But, its educational potential has yet to be fully realized. In the wake of the covid-19 outbreak, this article presents an examination of the digital competence of university professors. The development of these talents among university professors was studied. To collect data, Google Forms was used to create online surveys. Requests were sent to the 240 professors of the Universidad Nacional Santiago Antunez de Mayolo via institutional email, and the responses of the 187 professors were included in the SPSS V26 database as a result of the outbreak. The findings show that university professors have sufficient digital skills, but their use in non-face-to-face classrooms is restricted, requiring a review of training programs in public institutions in this context of the COVID-19 epidemic.
