Competency profile on the use of ICT resources by Spanish music teachers: descriptive and inferential analyses with logistic regression to detect significant predictors

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purposes of this study were twofold: (1) determine the level of digital competence that Spanish teachers have in the use of technological devices, Web 2.0 general tools and Web 2.0 music tools, according to the proficiency profiles established by the European Framework DigCompEdu; and (2) identify the significant predictors which affect Spanish teachers who have a high level of competence. The study uses an ex-post facto design with 115 Spanish secondary school music teachers. The results showed that teachers had a profile between Novice and Expert regarding the use of educational technology. In addition, age, attitude towards ICT and motivation in teaching practice are predictive variables that help predict high competence in the use of Web 2.0 general resources and technological devices in the classroom, while having studied at a conservatory and working as a teacher in a conservatory significantly influence the use of Web 2.0 music tools.
