Design and evaluation of a teaching sequence on teaching digital competence in the initial training of teachers

Abstract

The current pandemic situation has provoked that Information and Communication Technologies gain a major relevance that they did not have before, although, it has also shown how many deficits the educational system presents, such as the lack of digital teaching skills (DTS). Because of this, it is important that in the teaching training master for secondary education, this skill is taught from both a theoretical and a practical approach. In this article, it is shown the design and the evaluation of a teaching sequence, based on a methodology in which the reflection about digital teaching skills is prioritized and in which the elaboration of a personal teaching environment is used as a teaching strategy. The results of its implementation indicate a positive assessment from the students and it is possible to conclude that the teaching proposal allows for a favourable evolution of the participant’s DTS.
