    (Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2025) León Garrido, Antonio; Gutiérrez-Castillo, Juan Jesús; Romero Tena, Rosalía; Sin departamento asociado
    The paradoxes of today’s society, access to information and communication, as well as the creation of content, the responsible use of digital tools, and the development of computational thinking require an adequate process of digital literacy and acquisition of digital skills that begins from the Early Childhood Education stage. The purpose of this study is, on the one hand, to examine the self-perceptions of Early Childhood Education teachers in Andalusia (Spain) regarding digital pedagogy, the development of digital competence in students, and their own level of digital competence; and, on the other hand, to identify the variables that may influence the acquisition of such competence. To this end, an ex post facto methodology was designed, based on a descriptive approach and ANOVA inferential analysis to study significant differences. The DigCompEdu Check-in questionnaire was applied to a sample of 8881 teachers. The results indicate that Early Childhood Education teachers perceive themselves to be less competent in the use of digital technologies in deciding how, when and why to integrate them into the classroom. However, they considers himself more competent when it comes to motivating students using technologies. From this, the need for specific, safe and collaborative training is concluded where technology must be coherently integrated into the curriculum.

    Establishing intergenerational relationships in unlikely collaborative educational contexts
    (RISKS, 2022-02-25) Moreno Abellán, Pedro; Martínez de Miguel López, Silvia; Salmerón Aroca, Juan Antonio; Teoría e Historia de la Educación
    This work presents a project called “ESium Project”, whose main objective is to create new spaces for social participation and a relationship between two different age groups: the young Social Education students and the elderly. It has a double purpose: to promote that reciprocal space for cooperation and interaction in a way that avoids the risk of disengagement and to promote a professional perspective. Target students will become future professionals who will also work with the elderly collective. Furthermore, a research-action method aims to make the participants protagonists of the educational actions that are carried out by using qualitative techniques as essential strategies for the work of collectives. Not only do the results regard the intergenerational stereotypes, they also show the assessment of the satisfaction by the involved participants, the international acknowledgement of the educational activity developed, and the possibility to use this in other contexts. In this way, it can be concluded that there is a need to tackle intergenerationally in teacher education from a wide-open inclusive perspective to take advantage of senior talent and innovation.
