Abstract
The aim of the study was to propose digital training to reduce technological illiteracy among educators. A mixed, non-experimental approach was used; descriptive scope, cross-sectional temporality, field design. The study population was 388 teachers from institutions in the Educational District 05D04 Pujilí - Saquisilí. The 68 teachers from the Pujilí Educational Unit were selected as a sample. The type of sampling used was non-probabilistic, intentional sampling. A 15-question questionnaire with a Likert-type scale and a semi-structured interview were used. The results show a series of challenges in the field of digital training of educators, as well as opportunities to improve their training and professional development in educational technology. The high proportion of teachers who feel uncomfortable and untrained to use digital tools (79.41% and 55.88%, respectively) reveals a widespread resistance to educational technology; 58.83% report difficulties in solving basic technical problems; Most of them expressed interest in participating in future courses on technological literacy. As a contribution, the 8-week course was designed: Digital Empowerment for Educators: Overcoming Technological Illiteracy. The proposal of the Digital Training course was valued, concluding that it has proven to be effective in reducing technological illiteracy among educators, by enhancing their digital skills, facilitating the effective incorporation of technology in their teaching and fostering a favorable perception towards the use of technological tools in their practice.
