Abstract
This article presents the findings of a study on the level of digital
competence among teachers at the Instituto Tecnológico Bolivariano
de Tecnología (ITB). A total of 220 faculty members from the Health, Administration, and Transportation faculties participated through a
questionnaire based on the DigCompEdu framework. Results show that 85% of teachers are at basic or intermediate levels, with widespread familiarity with platforms like Moodle but limited pedagogical integration of ICT and scarce production of interactive content. Despite these limitations, opportunities emerged, such as teachers’ interest in
training and positive experiences in specific programs. An institutional
strategy is proposed, combining continuous training, technical-pedagogical support, and communities of practice, aiming for a sustainable
educational transformation.
