The environmental impact produced by digital technologies is one of the fundamental contents to be developed by teachers of the 21st century. Different investigations raise the need to redesign education towards sustainable models and promote a critical look at digital technologies. The main objective of this manuscript is to design a valid, reliable and useful scale to measure self-perceived teacher digital competence regarding the eco-responsible use of technologies. The instrument has been designed based on a detailed analysis of the main frameworks for the development of digital competence in Europe: INTEF and DigCompEdu. A content validation process has been followed through the expert judgment method. Subsequently, its reliability and validity are estimated using structural equation modeling techniques. The results obtained guarantee the reliability and validity of the model. Therefore, the need to establish environmental teacher training plans and more awareness about the eco-responsible use of technologies is established.

The development of professional practices during the university stage is a fundamental factor for quality skills development. For many students, it is the first real experience in a professional context, so continuous monitoring by teachers is necessary. This article presents an innovative proposal to develop the follow-up of the professional practices of the degree in Primary Education, and two Masters’ in Psychopedagogy and Special Educational Needs using a learning management system (LMS) (Blackboard). The experience was developed by a team of teachers from the departments of Didactics and Educational Organization and Research Methods and Educational Diagnosis of the University of Seville (Spain). The aspects to be studied are the development of communication, reflection, and collaborative learning processes during the internship period. After an explicit agreement, 24 students (10 from the course “Professional Practices I” in undergraduate students; and the others from the Master’s) committed to periodically using the blog designed ad hoc for this experience. A content analysis of the speeches posted on the blog was carried out, examining the changes, the advantages, and the disadvantages that this model entailed. It allowed observing similarities and differences between both groups of students. As the main conclusion, there were some differences between the two groups of students, regarding the number, type, and contents of interventions; there were no differences in the assessment of the methodology, all the students thought that it was a very positive assessment of the experience for generating information exchange networks among colleagues and teachers. Finally, the relevance of constant monitoring of the academic tutor was highlighted.

Desde la experiencia docente se ha apreciado que las competencias de los estudiantes universitarios en el uso de dispositivos móviles, puede que sean óptimas para una actividad lúdica, pero dista mucho de ser la esperada con fines formativos, de desarrollo y como recurso didáctico. El capítulo parte de esta preocupación ya que su desarrollo profesional se va a producir en una Escuela 2.0, y por ello se han desarrollado diferentes procedimientos para integrar el aprendizaje móvil en las aulas universitarias. Los objetivos son conocer las tecnologías que utilizan los estudiantes habitualmente, identificar el tiempo de conexión a la red, y su disponibilidad; descubrir si se producen cambios en su modo de utilizar las tecnologías como recurso educativo, tras su formación y recoger sus percepciones como futuros profesores sobre el uso del móvil. Se trata de una investigación mixta, con un diseño exploratorio y no experimental (Ex Post-Facto), que, mediante el uso de dos instrumentos, cuantitativo (cuestionario) y cualitativo (foro), en el que han participado 194 estudiantes del Máster Universitario en Profesorado en Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanzas de Idiomas (MAES) en la Universidad de Cádiz, se analizan los resultados utilizando SPSS y análisis documental. Los resultados muestran un alto uso de dispositivos electrónicos (ordenador portátil, teléfono inteligente, reproductor de música y memorias USB por encima del 75%, mientras que las tablest o los E-books, tienen un uso menor al 30%), sólo el 8,7% no suele conectarse a la red diariamente. Respecto a la valoración de las actividades formativas mediante el uso de tecnologías, el 82,4% creen que han facilitado su trabajo porque dominaban las herramientas, pero casi un 15% lo considera complicado o una inversión de tiempo añadida. Por último, destacar que el uso del foro no fue la esperada, ya algunos estudiantes no lo saben utilizar adecuadamente, a pesar de haber recibido instrucciones sobre su uso. Es necesario seguir trabajando para transformar a nuestros estudiantes en “residentes digitales” e incorporar el aprendizaje ubicuo en un modelo de aprendizaje profundo y no superficial, que es el que utilizan generalmente con el móvil.
