Transversal digital competence in teacher training: analysis of an experience

The influence of technology is an undeniable reality in all areas of our life, which is why the development of digital competence in the postgraduate training of future professionals in education is fundamental. Much has been written in recent years on teacher training in the use of technologies, and the analysis of the results obtained in previous research shows limitations in the specific training in ICT received in general education degrees, as well as the tendency to develop this competence from a transversal perspective. Under these premises, these lines are intended to describe and analyze a classroom experience based on the introduction of ICT in a transversal way in the subject of Processes and Educational Contexts of the Master's Degree in Secondary Education at the University of Valencia. The participants were 42 students, 25 men and 18 women, who have completed a Google questionnaire developed ad hoc. Their results indicate a positive assessment of the students and the development of the digital teaching competition. It also reveals the possibility of developing, transversally, the digital teaching competence in any subject of the curricula and the importance of its development from teacher training, with the aim of favoring the implementation of good practices in their professional future.
