Competências digitais para a docência em Educação Profissional e Tecnológica

Abstract

This work focused on the study of Digital Skills in Professional and Technological Education. This concept is presented by the European Union and defined as the set of skills and attitudes for solving complex problems in society. The main objective of the study was to investigate the Digital Skills of teachers in a college of Professional and Technological Education in the city of Santa Maria-RS. As a methodology, we used a qualitative and quantitative approach to the data and an exploratory research was applied to map and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Teachers' Digital Skills. For this, two instruments were used to map these competencies, namely, a closed-question questionnaire and a Survey. With a total of 22 respondents, the referred study, by mapping the profile of the Teaching Competencies, analyzed the demands and presented strategies in the 6 areas of teaching Digital Competencies. As the main finding of this study, we can mention the high levels of evaluation that teachers have in relation to the promotion of Digital Skills as well as the high number of teachers who claimed to use Digital Technologies in their pedagogical practices.
