The digital competences of the teachers of Don Bosco University (Original).

Abstract

This article shows the results of a research that sought to identify the level of digital competence possessed by the teachers of the Don Bosco University. The non-experimental research design of transectional cut with a descriptive scope was proposed. The sample consisted of 118 full-time, part-time and hour-class teachers of cycle II-2022. The results revealed that, according to the European Framework of Digital Competences, the teachers of the Don Bosco University were located at the B2 expert level in digital competences. However, the limitation of this study was the extension of the research instrument that, when sent by email, lengthened the data collection process. It was concluded that, although the level of digital competence is B2, it is necessary to design a teacher training program in active, hybrid methodologies and digital technologies to strengthen digital competences throughout the teaching staff and advance their development.
