Abstract

Currently, technologies are so present in our society that it requires teachers trained in their use on a continuous basis in the teaching-learning processes. Therefore, it is necessary to know the level of self-perception that teachers have about their own digital teaching competence (DTC) both in terms of knowledge and use of technologies. This research focuses on this issue. For this purpose, 158 trainee teachers were surveyed. The results indicate that, despite the boom in the use of new technological tools, this has not gone hand in hand with a greater self-perceived DTC by the respondents. These results show that even today there is a clear lack of use of technology with a special focus on education. This shows the need for further training to achieve a sufficient level of digital teaching competence to train their students in the use of technologies.
