The Training of the Digital Competence at the Postgraduate Level for a Knowledge-Based Economy

Abstract

The objective of the chapter is to describe the main digital competences to be developed at the postgraduate level based on the characteristics established by the knowledge economy. It is a priority to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize the information generated, in addition to communicating creatively and innovatively in a network environment. Thus, the postgraduate course has been constituted as a social community that develops innovation, scientific, and technological projects as a substantial activity in which information is a fundamental resource in the development of the generation of new knowledge. To achieve this, it is necessary to carry out an investigation that involves a set of relevant processes such as identifying the problems; planning the search for information; selection of information sources; information processing, organization, and storage; as well as the communication of results. The digital competence is defined as the set of capabilities focused on the use of ICT to obtain, store, organize, present, and exchange information.

O. C., Ruiz, J. A. C., & Mercado, M. T. C., 2021); a system of 'practices and products of people's activities related to the culture of the digital age; a system of stable socio-psychological traits and qualities of personality and stereotypes of behaviour in the digital environment' (Warschauer, M., 2004).…”
