In order for students to be the protagonists of the teaching and learning process, teachers must change their role in the classroom. A successful alternative is the flipped classroom methodology, where educational technology is integrated into a reorganisation and optimisation of class time. Based on this alternative, this paper aims to analyse the perceptions of future teachers about the FC as an active methodology. A quantitative longitudinal panel design was carried out with pre-test and post-test measures, with a descriptive, inferential and predictive approach. The sample consisted of 284 prospective teachers from the University of Malaga (Spain), who were asked about their perceptions of the FC using an ad hoc questionnaire. The results reflect positive perceptions of the FC methodology on the part of the future teachers, with significant differences by gender in favour of men. The variables gender, re-watching videos, digital competence and autonomous learning were predictors of the participants’ perceptions. In conclusion, it is important to highlight the importance of implementing active methodologies such as the FC with future teachers that they can use when carrying out their work.
La tecnología educativa ha ganado protagonismo debido a los modelos híbridos y virtuales que se han desarrollado a causa de las restricciones y confinamientos derivados de la pandemia mundial por la COVID-19. Esta situación de mayor uso de las TIC afecta a la competencia digital del alumnado, uno de los ámbitos que más desarrollo y formación precisa. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la percepción sobre el nivel de competencia digital de 84 futuros profesionales de la educación que inician sus estudios en la Universidad de Málaga en el curso 2021-2022. Los datos, recogidos mediante un instrumento validado (Cuestionario de Competencia Digital para Futuros Docentes), reflejan un nivel notable de competencia digital, existiendo diferencias en función del género, destacando la mejor percepción de los hombres respecto a las mujeres en cuanto a la creatividad en innovación con TIC. Se concluye la necesidad de reforzar los programas de formación inicial y continuar respecto al desarrollo de la competencia digital.
Technologies have more and more influence on training, being essential to improve the digital competence of the whole society, especially the agents involved in education. The objective of this study is to analyse the perceptions of future primary teachers about their level of digital competence. A quantitative longitudinal panel design was applied (pre-test and post-test), with a descriptive, inferential and predictive approach. The sample consisted of 185 prospective primary teachers from the University of Malaga (Spain), in the academic year 2021-2022, who answered the “Digital Competence Questionnaire for Future Teachers” in the context of a subject on educational technology. The results reflect positive perceptions on the level of digital competence after finishing the subject, with significant differences by gender in favour of men. The variables autonomous learning and motivation were predictors of the participants' perceptions, including that of adequate training only for women. In conclusion, it is necessary to continue reinforcing the initial training of teachers to improve their digital competence. Las tecnologías tienen cada vez más influencia en la formación, siendo fundamental la mejora de la competencia digital de toda la sociedad, en especial los agentes implicados en la educación. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las percepciones de futuros docentes de primaria sobre su nivel de competencia digital. Se aplicó un diseño cuantitativo de panel longitudinal (pre-test y post-test), con un enfoque descriptivo, inferencial y predictivo. La muestra la conformaron 185 futuros docentes de primaria de la Universidad de Málaga (España) en el curso 2021/2022, quienes respondieron al “Cuestionario de Competencia Digital para Futuros Docentes” en el contexto de una asignatura sobre tecnología educativa. Los resultados reflejan unas percepciones positivas sobre el nivel de competencia digital tras acabar la asignatura, existiendo diferencias significativas por sexos en favor de los hombres. Las variables aprendizaje autónomo y motivación fueron predictoras de las percepciones de los participantes, incluyendo la de formación adecuada solo para las mujeres. Como conclusión, es necesario seguir reforzando la formación inicial de los docentes para mejorar su competencia digital.
