Abstract

The present research aimed to analyze the digital competences of teachers at the "Jesús Infante" Basic Education School in the 2023-2024 academic year in Riobamba, Ecuador, based on the European Framework for Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu), in order to identify training needs and provide a foundation for the institution to design training and professional development programs. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach, a non-experimental design, cross-sectional, and an analytical-descriptive scope level. Additionally, for data collection, a translation and adaptation of the questionnaire "DigCompEdu Check-In" developed by Cabero and Palacios was used as an instrument. This research showed that the majority of teachers had an Explorer level (A2), reflecting that they only assimilate new information and develop basic digital practices. Furthermore, it was identified that the competences in which they have the most difficulty are those related to programming and implementing digital technologies in the teaching-learning process, as well as in developing students' digital competences. Therefore, in order for teachers to be able to reflect, expand, and apply their digital practices, it is necessary to conduct periodic evaluations.
