Abstract

Digital competences are crucial for teachers in the 21st century. The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of digital competences of teachers at the Instituto Tecnológico de Durango in relation to the five areas of the DigComp framework. The study, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design, is descriptive with a quantitative approach. An adapted and validated instrument based on the DigComp model was used. 83 teachers from the different academic departments of the institution participated. The results showed an advanced level in the area of ​​competence search and management of information and data. On the other hand, most teachers have an intermediate level in the areas of competence communication and collaboration, security, creation of digital content and problem solving. The results show that it is advisable to measure digital competences to plan training strategies according to the needs of each department.
