Many Nowadays, digital teaching competence transcends the individual training of teachers in ICT. The European framework DigCompEdu, highlights that teachers must train students in the application of digital technologies in a critical and responsible way, in terms of information, communication, content generation, wellbeing and problem solving. Despite the good intentions to systematize a common model of development of digital competence, it is detected that the proposals lack a pedagogical approach that serves as a theoretical framework for them. This paper proposes a development model of the digital teaching competence based on the sociocultural approach through four constructs: Command, Preference, Reintegration and Appropriation. For this study, an ad hoc scale is created to record the digital teaching competence through the development of this in their students and empirical evidences are provided. A survey type design is proposed. The sample consists of 1,881 students of compulsory education in Andalusia (Spain). SPSS is used to analyse data. The average general results for each of the dimensions studied reveal a medium level of development of digital competence. It is concluded that there is still too much to be done in terms of teacher training in ICT, being necessary to provide them strategies for the development of this in their students. En la actualidad, la competencia digital docente trasciende de la formación individual del profesorado en materia TIC. El marco europeo DigCompEdu incide en que el profesorado tiene que capacitar al alumnado en la aplicación de las tecnologías digitales de forma crítica y responsable en cuanto a información, comunicación, generación de contenido, bienestar y resolución de problemas. Pese a las buenas intenciones para sistematizar un modelo común de desarrollo de la competencia digital, se detecta que las propuestas carecen de un enfoque pedagógico que sirva de base teórica de los mismos. Este trabajo propone un modelo de desarrollo de la competencia digital docente basado en el enfoque sociocultural mediante cuatro constructos: Dominio, Preferencia, Reintegración y Apropiación. Para ello, se elaboró una escala ad hoc para registrar la competencia digital docente a través del desarrollo de esta en sus estudiantes, aportando evidencias empíricas. Se plantea un diseño de tipo cuestionario. La muestra se compone de 1.881 estudiantes de educación obligatoria de Andalucía. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó SPSS. Los resultados promedios generales por cada una de las dimensiones estudiadas revelan un nivel medio de desarrollo de la competencia digital. Se concluye que aún existe mucho por hacer en cuanto a la formación del profesorado en materia TIC, siendo necesario facilitarles estrategias para el desarrollo de esta en sus estudiantes.

Younger people are exposed to misinformation that circulates rapidly on their mobile devices through instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. Under the guise of news, an attractive format and outrage discourse, fake news appeal to their emotions by inviting them to distribute them impulsively. All of this is supported by a device—the mobile phone—in which the action of sharing is a matter of trust. Therefore, they are less likely to check a piece of content before resending it if it comes from a contact in their personal address book. To understand young people’s habits when receiving informative content through WhatsApp and the reasons why they choose to share it or not, this study designed a “Questionnaire on Student Habits for Sharing Fake News on the Mobile” (CHECK-M), to measure young teenagers’ exposure to “fake news” and their behavior. Empirical data, from a sample of 480 adolescents, confirmed that (1) they are more likely to share content if it connects with their interests, regardless of its truthfulness, that (2) trust affects the credibility of information, and that (3) the appearance of newsworthy information ensures that, regardless of the nature of the content, this information is more likely to be shared among young people.

This article examines the research that explores the relationship between sustainability and digital teaching competence in the university environment, through a qualitative systematic review, which covers 2011 to 2021. It is intended to identify how sustainability is applied in higher education through teaching experiences linked to the use of ICT, where the digital teaching competence is specified and put into practice. In other words, it is about responding to the following questions: What digital skills are being applied to develop educational sustainability in higher education? In which aspects of educational and pedagogical sustainability are they projected? As a work methodology, the PRISMA protocol is applied as the technique of systematic review, using the Scopus and WOS databases as sources of information. Subsequently, a qualitative analysis of the selected articles is carried out using the ATLAS.ti scientific software, using the DigCompEdu model as the basis for the analysis of the information. The results shed light on the panorama of research on digital competence and sustainability and the evolution of scientific production over ten years, as well as the methodology applied in these studies. The DigCompEdu model is found to be useful for registering the modalities of teaching competencies put into practice, manifesting a primacy of pedagogical digital competences over those of professional development and student empowerment. Sustainability development areas are also identified, linked to teaching digital competence, such as inclusion, educational quality or lifelong learning.

This research aims to know the level of digital competence that non-university education students have from their own perspective. In addition, hypotheses have been made to know if there are differences in these perceptions according to different sociological variables. For the evaluation of the digital competences, the theoretical model proposed by Ala-Mutka (2011), for the systematization and /or breakdown of digital competence, was adapted on a Likert scale. In this research an intentional sampling is applied circumscribed to centers previously identified as centers that have participated in the "School 2.0 Program" selected by the Center of Teachers of Seville as centers of good ICT practices.The sample consists of a total of 336 students, 49,8% were boy-students and 50,2% are girl-students, of which 50,3% were Primary school students and 49,7% are Secondary. Overall, the results show that students perceived to have an average level of digital skills. Moreover, significant differences in this perception as to be detected if the students have internet at home (ρ = 0.012), if they have received ultra-laptops in schools (ρ = 0.001), and with respect to the age at which the students began using the computer (ρ = 0.038). The results obtained here are relevant to appraise the impact of ICT policies and digital competences of students.

Young people's exposure to fake news is a growing concern in terms of the risks that are beginning to emerge related to health (anxiety and stress), democracy (loss of trust in the media and institutions) and post-truth (permanent questioning of the facts). To ascertain Spanish adolescents' exposure to false news, their level of awareness and how they value the credibility of digital information, the 'CHECK-M' questionnaire was designed and administered to 480 adolescents (N = 480). The results reveal that most have heard of fake news but trust their abilities to detect this kind of content. This self-confidence leads them to also state that they know that there is information designed explicitly to deceive citizens. However, when evaluating the veracity of information, they do not attach importance to fundamental criteria such as having a recognized author or being accurate. This raises the need to reinforce adolescents' critical thinking starting in the most elementary stages of education.

Media organizations operate in a rivalry-charged ecosystem nowadays, as a consequence of emerging patterns of news production, distribution, and consumption. Furthermore, the growing of public social media manifestations and the arrival of digital journalism require new professional roles, responsibilities, and skills inside the media industry. In this context, Faculties of Communication need to equip students with the digital competencies that are relevant to new media outlets and journalistic work. Based on this approach, the main objective of this study is to answer the following questions: What does the literature suggest about the digital skills that new professional profiles should acquire in the field of journalism? Which dimensions of digital competence are gaining visibility and which dimensions are being neglected? To answer the scientific objectives, a systematic review has been carried out following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. The application of the two models of digital competence, Bloom’s taxonomy (1956), and digital competence in education (Redecker, 2017), serves as a framework in two ways: to determine the level of digital competence development, and to identify the dimensions on which greater emphasis is being placed. The results show a lack of studies linked to key aspects of digital competence, especially those related to personal growth, emotional state (Redecker, 2017), and the development of a deep level of acquisition of this competence (Bloom, 1956). This article proposes to reflect on whether we want to train professionals according to the model demanded by the media outlets nowadays, or whether we prefer to train communication professionals with a deep level of digital competence, since they are able to respond to the future and changing needs of the 21st century.

El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la capacidad predictiva sobre el estado emocional que tiene el uso de las TIC en las aulas. La muestra se compone de 1982 sujetos pertenecientes a centros escolares andaluces de larga experiencia en la implantación y uso de las TIC. Para el análisis de los datos se realiza una Regresión Logística Binaria. Los resultados confirman la fiabilidad de las escalas, así como como la bondad de ajuste de nuestro modelo propuesto. Los resultados confirman que los estudiantes presentan niveles más altos de emociones positivas cuando los usos y aplicaciones de las TIC son más complejos. Se concluye que cuando los estudiantes son agentes activos y creadores de sus propios contenidos, tienen una mejor predisposición hacia el aprendizaje y presentan mejor estado emocional.
