The development of related technological skills in secondary students is perceived as unachievable if the teachers do not have enough technological expertise to guide their students. This study was based on investigating digital competence on the population of graduate students undertaking a Master’s degree in Education to train as teachers for the secondary educational level. The study made it possible to conclude, on the one hand, the homogeneity of university degrees within the scope of the Bologna Plan, with respect to mean levels of digital training. On the other hand, more exhaustively, differences have come to light concerning specific training on the different digital competence areas in the DigComp evaluation system, related to gender, branch of knowledge, age, and by considering the self-perception of individuals on their own capabilities in everyday technological issues. Consequently, the need for incorporating an ICT syllabus into the subjects covered by a Master’s in education has been highlighted, as well as promoting females, older people, and nontechnological degrees. Digital training on critical competence areas for teaching, such as the creation of digital content, suffers from major shortcomings and should also be promoted.
In Primary School reading competence is a fundamental part of linguistic communication competence. And it has also been determined that its development in the early stages of education favors the academic success of students. Considering these ideas, a pilot study limited to one educational centre was carried out, a transversal cut, using a survey of closed-ended questions, on the value of the family in the development of the reading habit, investigating and showing the implications of this in the development policy of the Reading Plan and analysing whether this implication influenced the academic results of the students. This survey was administered to a sample of 51 students in the third year of Primary school. The management of the centre and the coordinators of the section were also interviewed. Once the results were obtained, the data obtained corroborated that the reading habit of the students is associated above all with school tasks and not so much with the taste or pleasure of reading in leisure time. It has also been determined that the attitude of the family has a clear influence on the development of the reading habit. And, finally, it could be verified that the academic performance of the students was related to this habit. It concludes with an emphasis on the necessary training of teachers to encourage the students' reading habits and family involvement in the Reading Plan.
RESUMENPara que una sociedad evolucionada se construya como inclusiva es imprescindible reconocer, desde la escuela, la diversidad como un aspecto positivo que enriquece los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje; y garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades mediante la construcción de entornos seguros, democráticos y equitativos. Para ello, es primordial asegurar actitudes positivas hacia la inclusión entre los profesores. Se presenta una investigación cuyo principal objetivo fue conocer la percepción de docentes de Educación Primaria acerca de la educación inclusiva, así como las estrategias desarrolladas con el fin de favorecerla. Se utilizó una metodología de tipo cuantitativo, no experimental y transversal. Se encuestó a un total de cincuenta y cinco docentes de cinco centros educativos de titularidad pública y concertada de la Región de Murcia (España). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron actitudes positivas hacia la educación inclusiva, si bien los docentes consideraron que su formación inicial era insuficiente para trabajar de manera efectiva la diversidad en las aulas, al igual que los recursos de los que disponen. ABSTRACTFor an evolved society to be built as inclusive, it is essential to recognize diversity from school as a positive aspect that enriches teaching and learning processes and guarantees equal opportunities through the construction of safe, democratic and equitable environments. In order to achieve this, it is essential to ensure positive attitudes towards inclusion among teachers. Aresearch is presented in which the main objective was to know the perception of Primary Education teachers regardinginclusive education, as well as the strategies developed in order to favor it. A quantitative, non-experimental and transverse/cross-sectional methodology was used. A total of fifty-five teachers from five publicly-owned and subsidized schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain) were surveyed. The results demonstrated positive attitudes towards inclusive education, although teachers considered that their initial training was insufficient to effectively work with diversity in the classroom, as well as the resources available to them.
