Abstract

La competencia digital docente se ha vuelto crucial para transformar a los profesores en diseñadores eficaces de procesos instruccionales adaptados a las necesidades de su alumnado. Sin embargo, esta competencia no es uniforme entre el profesorado, con las variables género, edady años de experiencia como aspectos a considerar.Al respecto, el objetivo de este estudio fue examinar el nivel de competencia digital de profesores de enseñanza básica, segúnlasvariables género, edady sus años de experiencia. Asimismo, se buscó analizar el nivel competencial percibido de los docentes y su contraste una vez reflexionado sobre las diferentes dimensiones que componen la competencia digital. Para ello, se administró el cuestionario DigCompEdu Check-in a 750 profesores de enseñanza básica. Los resultados apuntaron a que los hombres tienden a puntuar más alto en las dimensiones que componen la competencia digital docente. De acuerdo a la edad, los profesores destacaban en diferentes dimensiones en cada uno de los rangos establecidos y la percepción sobre su competencia digital fue superior en el pretest. Las implicaciones prácticas derivadas del estudio apuntan a la importancia deprofesionalizar a los docentes a través del fomento de su competencia digital.
