Abstract:
The digital revolution has substantially impacted education. The evolution of the use of technologies in education has been gradual and different, mostly depending on the teaching professionals predisposition and skills. An study of the new educational hybrid model is offered. The role of the educator is critical in this new model, confirming the necessity to have technical resources and qualified educators to improve students’ competence in order for them to work successfully in the digital economy. A more holistic approach to EDC is suggested. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) has identified 22 competences in six areas of competence. This paper has analyzed 251 responses from a convenience sample of professors from universities in business administration based on this validated instrument. The results show the relevance of educators characteristics to the learning process concerning previous knowledge about technology, training received, and their attitude toward technology. From a theoretical point of view, these competencies have been grouped into four competency areas, and their level of impact on student learning has been determined.
