Evaluation of a Program for the Improvement of Learning and Digital Competence in Future Teachers Utilizing Active Methodologies

This article presents the results of an educational innovation at an online university; its purpose is to analyze if the implementation of an active methodology supported by technological tools favors the learning of students with regard to traditional methodologies and if it contributes to the development of the level of digital competence. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The results show high-level improvement in the academic performance of the group and an improvement in digital competence in four of the five dimensions identified in the INTEF (2017). The conclusion is that the proposed instruction design improves learning and digital competence.
