Abstract
Higher education is one of the educational stages most affected by digital technologies, whose constant development has produced a favourable atmosphere for new approaches regarding the teaching–learning processes. The aim of the study was to identify the most relevant findings that specialists have analysed in terms of the digital competences of university teachers, through the analysis of the scientific production of the specialised literature in the last decade (2009–2019). A search was carried out on the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the sample was made up of 20 articles. The main findings show the low level of digital competence among teachers and the need for training in both technological and pedagogical areas.
Highlights
The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has called for universities to propose and implement policies that meet these new needs
Through this study, the aim has been to provide a general overview of the digital teaching skills in higher education through a systematic review of the relevant scientific literature in this area
The findings of this systematic review will be used as the basis for recommendations regarding the training of university teachers, as well as for future research in this field
Summary
The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has called for universities to propose and implement policies that meet these new needs In this regard, higher education is currently one of the educational stages most affected by digital technologies. The universalisation of the internet has helped to create different proposals: smart, digital, wireless, cybernetic or knowledge Among these terms, smart is the latest development, and it is closely related to the academic world. Smart is the latest development, and it is closely related to the academic world This new digital scenario presents some challenges, among which are: the establishment of an innovation culture which includes the use of digital technologies; the comprehensive assessment of learning with the use of digital technologies; and the reorganisation of institutions to properly introduce digital technologies [1]. Over the last few years, this has become an emerging field of study
