Presentamos una investigación cuyo objetivo es el de conocer la percepción que tienen los alumnos de Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Salamanca sobre su competencia digital. Se ha seguido una metodología cuantitativa, un método no experimental y descriptivo, y se ha utilizado la técnica del cuestionario para la recogida de datos. La muestra está compuesta por un total de 52 alumnos de una población de 57. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que la mayoría de alumnos se sienten capacitados para aplicar las TIC en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, en contra de otras investigaciones en las que los profesores se autoevalúan como que no se encuentran capacitados para utilizar las TICs que tienen a su disposición en las instituciones educativas.
With the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the emergence of the Corona virus (COVID-19,) our way of life and even our education have been affected. The education approach has changed from traditional tutorials to online education. As a result, it has been a necessary for not only students but also teachers to improve their digital competence. The aim of this study was to describe in-service teachers’ self-perceptions of digital competence in the context of higher education and analyze the impact of gender and years of teaching experience on college teachers’ digital competence. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology has been used. A sample of 536 in-service teachers from Gansu Agricultural University, China, completed a questionnaire on digital competence. The data were collected in the academic year of 2019–2020. The results show that the sample considered themselves positively in information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, security and problem solving, while they self-evaluated their digital content creation negatively. Regarding the variables studied, significant differences were found in favor of male college teachers in the perception of digital competence. In relation to the teaching experience, teachers with less teaching experience thought themselves better in the areas of communication and collaboration, digital content creation, security and problem solving.
