La tecnología, como ingrediente fundamental para el avance de la Sociedad del Conocimiento, ha asumido un papel fundamental en el entorno educativo. En esta línea, diferentes instituciones y estudios científicos respaldan la importancia de la competencia digital docente dentro de los nuevos contextos de alfabetización. Este artículo persigue brindar un análisis objetivo y riguroso del concepto, estudiando el principal marco europeo de competencia digital docente «DigCompEdu». Además, también se presenta la traducción y adaptación al español del cuestionario «DigCompEdu Check-In». Todo ello puede resultar de interés para vertebrar y evaluar planes formativos personalizados y para la mejora del nivel de competencia digital del profesorado. Así mismo, se propone abrir diferentes líneas de investigación relacionadas con las necesidades formativas en TIC, avaladas por herramientas fiables y válidas de evaluación competencial.

We are currently witnessing a moment in history in which sustainable education practices are being principally modified by the proliferation of technologies and their wider use in every level of society, which makes necessary their integration into education contexts. This is found in the crosshairs of different institutions, which propose a series of competency frameworks, such as DigCompEdu. This framework provides suggestions for the competences that educators should be trained on under pedagogic-didactic criteria. The present work intends to measure the reliability and validity of the questionnaire DigCompEdu Check-In with the participation of 2262 professors from different public Andalusian universities. The known-groups method was utilized to elucidate if the tool is able or not to discriminate different variables of interest between known groups. The study reveals that the instrument has high indices of reliability, globally, and in the different dimensions that comprise it. Furthermore, it verifies that the instrument is sufficiently robust to discriminate the subjects who are clearly differentiated by variables related with technology. Along this line, the recommendation is given to continue working on the creation of new instruments focused on the mastery of this competency.

In this paper, different proposals made by national and international organizations and institutions on Teacher Digital Literacy are taken into account. The 7 most commonly used competence frameworks in international contexts are presented for evaluation through expert judgment. Next, the most suitable for the subsequent realization of a t-MOOC on Teacher Digital Literacy was selected. The selection of these experts was based on seven criteria that helped to establish the expert knowledge coefficient (EKC). This strategy served to obtain the viability of the selected sample. A total of 412 people, 155 experts and 257 non-experts participated in this study. After conducting the expert judgment, in a single round, it was concluded that the European Framework of Digital Competence for Teachers DigCompEdu is the most valued and adequate to be used as reference for the formative t-MOOC, followed by INTEF. This result is logical, since the latter is inspired by the former. These findings do not question the validity of the other competency frameworks, but the preferences granted by the judges.

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology that is gaining greater influence on teaching every day. AR, together with mobile technology, is defined as one of the most efficient pairs for supporting significant and ubiquitous learning. Purpose of the study: the Instructional Material Motivational Survey (IMMS), by Keller, was used to determine the degree of motivation possessed by the Pedagogy students on the utilization of the notes enriched with AR in the classroom, available for their didactic use through mobile devices. Methods: through an app designed for the courses Education Technology (ET) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Applied to Education, the motivation gained when participating in this experience, and how it influences the improvement of academic performance, was evaluated. Results and conclusions: the most notable main result was finding a strong relationship between the motivation of the students when using the enriched notes and the increase of performance in the academic subject where it was used. Likewise, it was proved that the use of Augmented Reality benefited the learning process itself.

A large number of emergent technologies have been acquiring a strong impulse in recent years. One of these emergent technologies is Augmented Reality (RA), which will surely have a high level of penetration into all our educational centers, including universities, in the next 3 to 5 years, as a number of different reports have already highlighted. The present paper shows various elements which, in our opinion, play an essential role when it comes to the incorporation of Augmented Reality into teaching, stressing the fact that this incorporation should not entail a technological problem but an educational and didactic issue. A mention is additionally made of several studies which have been performed with regard to the didactic exploitation of this emergent technology, as well as to the potential that it offers us. Our study forms part of an R&D&I initiative undertaken within the framework of the Plan Estatal de Fomento de la Investigación Científica y Técnica de Excelencia 2013–2016 [2013–16 State (National) Plan for the Promotion of Excellence Scientific and Technical Research], with reference EDU2014-57446-P.
