Digital skills in initial teacher training

Abstract

Currently, due to the vertiginous changes that are taking place and impacting the ways of living and working, the focus of the education models has changed from a work based on objectives to a perspective focused on skills training. Training in skills means that the student learns to use his knowledge adapting it to the problematic situations that arise, reacts quickly in search of a solution, so that by exercising an effective selective tracking among the innumerable knowledge available, he decides with critical judgment which is the most convenient to apply. Educators carry out a professional activity and as such, they must be endowed with the resources that allow them to function adequately, appropriately and coherently with the reality in which they work to respond to the needs of the environment. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the competencies that give them professionalism.
