Análisis correlacional de los factores incidentes en el nivel de competencia digital del profesorado

Abstract

Conocer los factores que inciden en la competencia digital docente es imprescindible para que los centros educativos elaboren planes formativos adaptados a las necesidades del alumnado actual. El objetivo de investigación se centra en conocer la incidencia que ejercen en el nivel de competencia digital algunos factores inherentes a la función docente: sexo, edad, experiencia, etapa educativa y nivel de formación. Se ha empleado un diseño cuantitativo sustentado en un enfoque descriptivo y correlacional, con una muestra de 520 docentes españoles de las etapas de infantil, primaria y secundaria. Se empleó un cuestionario validado para medir la competencia digital y otro cuestionario ad hoc para los datos sociodemográficos y formativos. Los resultados revelan que las mujeres disponen de mayor nivel en la creación de contenidos digitales que los hombres, los cuales destacan en la resolución de problemas; existe una relación inversamente proporcional entre edad y nivel competencial; la experiencia mejora el nivel de seguridad digital; la etapa incide en el nivel de información y alfabetización, comunicación y creación de contenidos; el nivel de formación continua es directamente proporcional al nivel competencial. Se concluye que los factores inherentes a la práctica educativa indicen significativamente en el nivel de competencia digital docente. Knowing the factors that affect the digital teaching competence is essential for schools to develop training plans tailored to the needs of current students. The research objective is focused on knowing the incidence that some factors inherent to the teaching function have on the level of digital competence: sex, age, experience, educational stage and level of training. A quantitative design based on a descriptive and correlational approach has been used, with a sample of 520 Spanish teachers from the infant, primary and secondary stages. A validated questionnaire was used to measure digital competence and another ad hoc questionnaire for sociodemographic and formative data. The results reveal that women have a higher level of digital content creation than men, which stand out in solving problems; there is an inversely proportional relationship between age and competence level; the experience improves the level of digital security; the stage affects the level of information and literacy, communication and content creation; The level of continuing education is directly proportional to the competence level. It is concluded that the factors inherent in educational practice significantly indicate the level of digital teaching competence.

For Sustainable Application of Mobile Learning: An Extended UTAUT Model to Examine the Effect of Technical Factors on the Usage of Mobile Devices as a Learning Tool

“…Some researchers have developed a model that integrates the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the updated DeLone and McLean's model (DL & ML) and have found that among the factors affecting students' intention to explore such new technology is the quality of this type of m-learning [31]. Prior to introducing new digital technologies for use by students, the factors that affect the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching using these technologies must be known [32].…”

Evaluation of the Functionality of a New E-Learning Platform vs. Previous Experiences in E-Learning and the Self-Assessment of Own Digital Literacy

“…The ability to implement new digital learning solutions requires lifelong learning skills [16][17][18]. The issue of updating knowledge and skills mainly concerns the digital competence of teachers [19][20][21].…”

Simulation of a Real Call for Research Projects as Activity to Acquire Research Skills: Perception Analysis of Teacher Candidates

“…Furthermore, the interest expressed in previous research articles about the influence of different variables in the teacher training, e.g., age, gender, etc. [40,41], was not considered in this analysis since this is out of the scope of the article. Therefore, these aspects will be considered for the future, thereby continuing the research line initiated through the methodology proposed in this study.…”
