“…Considerando estos antecedentes, las investigaciones también se han enfocado en estudiantes de carreras universitarias de formación de Educadores. En este sentido, el trabajo de Casillas et al (2017) en estudiantes en formación para Maestros, muestra puntajes en competencias digitales como conocimiento, uso y actitudes hacia las TIC, en valores medios, siendo mayores en los hombres que en las mujeres.…”

Las competencias digitales se abren paso cada vez más como imprescindibles para alcanzar una verdadera sociedad de la información y el conocimiento. Identificarlas, describirlas, evaluarlas, constituyen procesos vitales para diferenciarles de otras habilidades necesarias para el trabajo con las TIC. Estas competencias revisten una necesidad importante en el contexto actual de la COVID 19, tanto por sus deficiencias en la población general, como en el ámbito educativo. En esta revisión de la literatura se observan las diferencias de este concepto con otros como alfabetización informacional y alfabetización digital, tanto desde sus áreas de estudio, hasta las dimensiones y estándares para su implementación y evaluación. Se aportan evidencias de la importancia de la brecha digital para lograr las mismas, y de cómo se pueden desarrollar desde diferentes estrategias como el Aula Invertida. Los resultados sugieren que esta metodología podría ser idónea en el contexto de la educación actual.

“…The role of education is seen to be essential to equip students with sufficient knowledge and practical abilities. Moreover, educational institutions are also agents that are expected to foster and facilitate individuals to have professional abilities that are following the needs of an ever-expanding industry [12].…”

“…Besides, ICT skills also play an essential role for students to acquire before entering the industrial manufacture [20][21][22]. On the other hand, digital competence is also seen as a crucial aspect that needs to be mastered by students in order to adapt to industry requirements [12]. So far, studies related to digital competence in Indonesia are limited in education [23,24], and there insufficient studies that investigate digital competence as an ability that needs to be mastered in the manufacturing world.…”

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has become a substantial topic in line with the industrial revolution 4.0 era. Digital competency represents a vital role in the IIoT framework. This study seeks to explore the digital competencies used in supporting IIoT. Respondents involved in this study were 300 people who came from students from the engineering faculty at a university in Papua. The results showed that students had mastery of digital competence for IIoT at a moderate level. This research implies an urgent need for policies from universities to be able to design strategies to improve digital competency capabilities for IIoT.

“…According to the study's findings, girls and women are frequently underserved regarding communications, information, and technology in particular. Even though women increasingly use digital technology, many have less advanced or basic digital literacy and competence than men (Casillas, Cabezas, Ibarra, & Rodrí guez, 2017;OECD, 2019). Most women learn in various contexts and with multiple resources to achieve advanced levels of digital competence in networks (Rebollo-Catalá n., Mayor-Buzon, & Garcia-Perez, 2015).…”

This study assessed the digital skills of female university students and the implications for higher education in Africa. A descriptive survey was used to sample 100 female university students from four African countries (Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda). The instrument used was the digital competence survey. Two research questions and two hypotheses were postulated and tested. According to the study's findings, most female university students in Nigeria and South Africa have expert and advanced levels of information and digital literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, and safety.On the other hand, Uganda was mainly found at the basic or no levels, whereas Rwanda was mostly found at the intermediate levels. The chi-square analysis reveals a significant difference between the ages of female university students and their DC levels (χ2 =.000; p < 0.05). A significant difference exists between female university students’ program of study and their levels of DC (χ2 = .000; p < 0.05). Students also faced challenges such as a lack of ICT tools, insufficient knowledge and skills, data issues, and poor internet connectivity. The implications of these findings for African higher education institutions suggest that female students, particularly in Rwanda and Uganda, require training to be digitally competent and compete globally with their peers. As a result, we recommend that students from different programs of study with less demand in technology be allowed to take compulsory electives in technology courses while older female students are given adequate support.
