We are currently witnessing a moment in history in which sustainable education practices are being principally modified by the proliferation of technologies and their wider use in every level of society, which makes necessary their integration into education contexts. This is found in the crosshairs of different institutions, which propose a series of competency frameworks, such as DigCompEdu. This framework provides suggestions for the competences that educators should be trained on under pedagogic-didactic criteria. The present work intends to measure the reliability and validity of the questionnaire DigCompEdu Check-In with the participation of 2262 professors from different public Andalusian universities. The known-groups method was utilized to elucidate if the tool is able or not to discriminate different variables of interest between known groups. The study reveals that the instrument has high indices of reliability, globally, and in the different dimensions that comprise it. Furthermore, it verifies that the instrument is sufficiently robust to discriminate the subjects who are clearly differentiated by variables related with technology. Along this line, the recommendation is given to continue working on the creation of new instruments focused on the mastery of this competency.

In this paper, different proposals made by national and international organizations and institutions on Teacher Digital Literacy are taken into account. The 7 most commonly used competence frameworks in international contexts are presented for evaluation through expert judgment. Next, the most suitable for the subsequent realization of a t-MOOC on Teacher Digital Literacy was selected. The selection of these experts was based on seven criteria that helped to establish the expert knowledge coefficient (EKC). This strategy served to obtain the viability of the selected sample. A total of 412 people, 155 experts and 257 non-experts participated in this study. After conducting the expert judgment, in a single round, it was concluded that the European Framework of Digital Competence for Teachers DigCompEdu is the most valued and adequate to be used as reference for the formative t-MOOC, followed by INTEF. This result is logical, since the latter is inspired by the former. These findings do not question the validity of the other competency frameworks, but the preferences granted by the judges.

La tecnología, como ingrediente fundamental para el avance de la Sociedad del Conocimiento, ha asumido un papel fundamental en el entorno educativo. En esta línea, diferentes instituciones y estudios científicos respaldan la importancia de la competencia digital docente dentro de los nuevos contextos de alfabetización. Este artículo persigue brindar un análisis objetivo y riguroso del concepto, estudiando el principal marco europeo de competencia digital docente «DigCompEdu». Además, también se presenta la traducción y adaptación al español del cuestionario «DigCompEdu Check-In». Todo ello puede resultar de interés para vertebrar y evaluar planes formativos personalizados y para la mejora del nivel de competencia digital del profesorado. Así mismo, se propone abrir diferentes líneas de investigación relacionadas con las necesidades formativas en TIC, avaladas por herramientas fiables y válidas de evaluación competencial.

The scarce presence of technologies at the early childhood education level today is a cause for worry. This study aims to provide information on the training of future early childhood education teachers and their relationship with technologies. The work is based on a pretest–posttest methodology through a cross sectional descriptive study. The sample is made up of 535 4th year students of the Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Seville. Descriptive and contrast analyses were performed as well as contrast statistics and effect size. The results show that the training received by the students was a key element to improve self-perception of digital competence. There were statistically significant changes between before and after receiving the training. The changes produced always meant an improvement in the students’ self-perception. In the study of their profiles, relevant changes were also identified. Whereas before training subjects were grouped into newcomer and explorer categories, after training they were grouped into the highest profiles: integrator, expert, and pioneer. For this reason, it is necessary to manage training plans to allow future teachers to position themselves at an expert level.

Las tecnologías se encuentran en el centro de una de las transformaciones más radicales que se han producido en la enseñanza universitaria, reclamando la atención del profesorado y de planes de formación del profesorado. Diferentes instituciones han propuesto una serie de marcos competenciales sobre las competencias prioritarias en las cuales deben formarse los docentes. El objetivo del trabajo es mediante juicio de expertos, elegir un marco de competencias que se convierta en el eje de una investigación más amplia: Diseño, producción y evaluación de t.MOOC para la adquisición por los docentes de “Competencias Digitales Docentes” (DIMOOC)”. Se enviaron 369 correos a expertos, se recibieron 179 contestaciones aplicando el Coeficiente de Competencia Experta que hizo que nos el total fuese 148 expertos. Tras los resultados obtenidos, se puede constatar que ha sobresalido un marco de Competencia Digital Docente (CDD), el Marco de la Unión Europea de Competencia Digital Docente (DigCompEdu). The technologies are at the center of one of the most radical transformations that have occurred in university education, claiming the attention of teachers and teacher training plans. Different institutions have proposed a series of competency frameworks on the priority competences in which teachers should be trained. The objective of the work is through expert judgment, to choose a framework of competencies that becomes the focus of a broader investigation: Design, production and evaluation of t.MOOC for the acquisition by teachers of “Digital Teaching Competencies” (DIMOOC ) ” 369 emails were sent to experts, 179 replies were received applying the Expert Competence Coefficient that made the total of 148 experts. After the results obtained, it can be seen that a framework of Digital Teaching Competency (CDD), the Framework of the European Union of Digital Teaching Competence (DigCompEdu), has excelled.
