Design of a t-MOOC for training in teaching digital competences: study under development (DIPROMOOC Project)

MOOCs have become an emerging technology that is very close to educational institutions. Its evolution allows to identify a diversity of models. The socalled t-MOOCs are the object of this paper because of their tendency to rely on the performance of tasks by the student. The presence of technologies in educational tasks means that the competences that teachers must possess are broader than the mastery of content and teaching methodologies, so it is necessary to emphasize the development of teacher digital competence (TDC). This project aims to analyze the educational possibilities of t-MOOCs for the training of teachers' TDC. The research is divided into three main phases: A) the first is the concretion of the contents of a training activity focused on the acquisition of digital teaching competence. The content unit will be structured by a learning guide: objectives and competencies with recommendations for follow-up, basic bibliography, complementary bibliography, a video clip and e-activities that require student development. B) The second phase is the creation of a virtual community formed by teachers of Childhood/Primary, Secondary/Baccalaureate/Professional Training and University Professors and Researchers concerned with TDC. C) The third and las part consist in creating of a training environment under the t-MOOC architecture that will consist of several stages: design and elaboration of the contents, production of the contents of the t-MOOC and evaluation of the contents and t-MOOC developed. For this last stage, the producers and experts will carry out an evaluation and pilot study. It will be use several instruments both quantitative (TAM, IMMS and CBT) and qualitative (interviews to participants in training activities, and social media content analysis created in the t-MOOC).
