Analysis of the Digital Teaching Competence: Key Factor in the Performance of Active Pedagogies with Augmented Reality

In a time conditioned by continuous technological advances, it is essential to train teachers in digital competence in order to respond to the needs and concerns of students. The educational processes of the teacher acquire great relevance to have the required skills against the use of new emerging resources. This study focuses on knowing the digital teaching competence in the development and application of augmented reality resources. A non-experimental design of descriptive and correlational type has been followed through a quantitative method. Two questionnaires were used, applied to a sample of 2631 teachers. The results obtained reveal that the teaching staff carries out continuous training, carrying out 2-3 courses per year related to ICT and other areas, in person. They demonstrate skills in certain areas of digital teaching competence, such as security and communication and collaboration, as well as a deficit in the creation of digital content. Deepening in the areas more analogous to augmented reality, according to the type of center and educational stage, it is the public and primary education centers that have revealed the highest level of competence.
