BUENO GUALAN, Pablo Andrés et al. Competencies for basic education teachers in the creation of digital educational content in Ecuador. []. , 15, 6, pp. 88-100.   10--2023. ISSN 2218-3620.

This research was focused on the proposal of a model of digital competencies for the creation of educational content in basic education teachers in Ecuador. Among the objectives was to design and apply an instrument to determine the level of knowledge of basic education teachers for the creation of digital educational content. The methodology used was developed based on a mixed research approach, combined in exploratory, descriptive and interpretative methods; as research techniques, expert criteria and Cronbach's Alpha were used to measure the validity and reliability of the instrument. The results of this study allow concluding that basic education teachers in Ecuador still have limitations in their digital competencies, referred to the creation of digital educational content. A model with four areas of competencies is proposed: informative, communicative, basic computer skills and content creation and updating. It concludes with the need to enhance the digital competencies of Ecuadorian teachers, especially those related to the creation of educational content that promote meaningful learning, and the proposal can also serve as a starting point to promote the digital transformation of education in the country.
