Competencias TIC y el rol del docente colombiano. Repositorio de recursos tecnológicos para fortalecer las competencias digitales docentes

Abstract

This research work addresses the deficit in teacher digital competencies (TDC) and the digital divide within the José María Carbonell Educational Institution in the municipality of San Antonio, Tolima, where factors such as the lack of infrastructure, limited connectivity, and decontextualized training hinder the effective integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into teaching and learning processes. In light of this scenario, this study proposes the development of a technological resource repository aimed at strengthening TDC among the faculty of the target institution. The general objective of this project is to develop a technological resource repository oriented toward strengthening the digital competencies of teachers at the IE José María Carbonell in San Antonio, Tolima, through the design thinking methodology. The methodological approach is based on Design Thinking, structured into phases that comprise the categorization of resources, prototype design through ideation techniques, and the validation of its relevance. The technological resource repository is conceived as an innovative alternative, functioning as an open-access and collaborative virtual space. Its core value lies in providing pedagogical relevance to the use of technologies, promoting their understanding under models such as TPACK, and their integration within the DIGCOMPEDU digital competence framework for education. Furthermore, it serves as a source for continuous and flexible professional development, fostering self-training, self-management, and peer collaboration, which is crucial for overcoming resistance and building a sustainable culture of innovation within rural Colombia. This development seeks to transform teachers into critical and creative users of technology, thereby contributing to the reinforcement of their technology integration practices in pedagogy and didactics, aiming for a progressive reduction of digital divides within the institutional context.
