FACTORES QUE INFLUYEN EN EL DESARROLLO DE LAS COMPETENCIAS DIGITALES DE LOS DOCENTES RURALES DEL MUNICIPIO DE MONTERÍA: UN ESTUDIO TRANSVERSAL

This article addresses the challenges faced by rural teachers in the development of digital skills in the municipality of Montería, Colombia. Despite advances in technology and connectivity, rural teachers encounter significant obstacles in the effective use of technology and the acquisition of digital skills. These limitations can affect the quality of education in rural communities and restrict learning opportunities.

The article highlights the importance of closing the digital divide in rural areas and prioritizing the development of teachers' digital skills. The study carried out in the municipality of Montería used a descriptive cross-sectional approach to collect data through interviews and visits to rural educational institutions. The results indicated that access to technological infrastructure, teacher education and training, access to digital educational resources, institutional support and collaboration between teachers are key factors that influence the development of digital skills of rural teachers. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the digital skills of rural teachers through training and professional development programs that address both technical knowledge and digital pedagogy. In addition, the importance of providing access to adequate technological infrastructure, digital educational resources and an institutional support environment is highlighted to close the digital divide in rural areas and promote an inclusive and equitable educational environment.
