Resumen
[ES] El objetivo del estudio consiste en analizar el nivel de competencia digital de 26 profesores de inglés andaluces que
trabajan en educación secundaria en la localidad andaluza de Chiclana de la Frontera. Más concretamente, se
pretende identificar qué áreas y competencias digitales les resultan más problemáticas, así como aquellas en las que
se desenvuelven mejor. Estos datos se han obtenido a partir de un cuestionario diseñado ad-hoc para medir el nivel
de desempeño en el nivel B1 del Marco de Referencia de la Competencia Digital Docente (2022), un documento cuya
última revisión está basada en el European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu). Los
resultados muestran que los participantes tienen un buen desempeño a la hora de comunicarse mediante
plataformas digitales, pero sin embargo necesitan mejorar en habilidades para resolver problemas técnicos. Este
trabajo puede ser de interés para docentes y formadores de profesores.

In particular, the study is aimed at identifying which areas and digital competences present more difficulties for teachers as well as those where they perform better. These data have been gathered from an ad-hoc questionnaire designed to measure the level of performance at B1 level from the Marco de Referencia de la Competencia Digital Docente (2022), a document whose latest revision is based upon the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu). The results indicate that participants show a good performance when it comes to communicating through digital platforms, and yet, they need to improve their skills in solving technical problems. This study might be of interest for teachers and teachers’ trainers.
