Teaching digital competence: a systematic review of the literature

Abstract

As a result of SARS-COV-2, learning spaces mostly migrated from in-person to virtual; it is in the latter space where teachers make use of a series of CDs (digital skills) inherent to the virtual educational phenomenon. This systematic review article focuses its attention on investigating research into the areas of CD that a teacher must develop and analyzing the strategies proposed by training institutions for their development. To meet this objective, a review of articles was carried out through the following phases: planning the search, carrying out and presenting the review report, using scientific databases such as EBSCOHost, Scopus, Redalyc and SciELO. As a result of the search, twenty-one scientific articles were selected for review. The articles maintain that CD in teachers receives special attention in highly computerized societies, where institutions such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) ), the National Institute of Educational Technologies and Teacher Training (Intef) and the European Commission for Education, propose guidelines to validate DC in teachers, which are taken as references by training institutions for the development of training strategies that seek to enhance CDs in teachers and promote the digital transformation of society.
