Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies have become essential in our daily lives and teacher training. The inter-semestral MOOC at the Technical University of Ambato in Ecuador addresses this need. Before its implementation, a baseline for Digital Competence was established using the SELFIE questionnaire with 21 management team members and 694 teachers. The results highlight the importance of teacher training in digital competence beyond the merely instrumental. The lack of digital skills training has widened educational gaps, making it crucial to establish relations with the business sector for digital transformation. Continuous training in classroom technologies and comprehensive training models that integrate pedagogical aspects are essential. Using a standardized instrument for measuring Digital Competence in the European Union and applying it to a Latin American country opens a promising research avenue for higher education development.
