Reflections on the need to cultivate technological competence in higher education teachers from a pedagogical perspective

Abstract

The development of competencies in the pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) goes beyond the simple cultivation of skills that allow technological devices to be used with relative fluency. It involves the possibility of reflecting on your membership in each class situation, even when it comes to virtual programs. It is about not forgetting that education is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve certain purposes and ICTs are, in that sense, also a means that the educator may or may not help. This research allowed to design and validate an interactive digital resource (RDI) from an online scenario, with the aim of strengthening ICT skills from the pedagogical dimension in teachers of higher education. The resource combines the elements of the ADDIE instructional model and the conditions and principles of a DUA for its implementation and validation.
