Over time, the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become increasingly important in most areas of our lives, including education. So much so, that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of these tools has been essential to continue the teaching process. One of the great challenges facing teachers today is their need to adapt to this new educational scenario by acquiring the necessary digital skills. The aim of this study is to determine the level of competence of teaching in pre-university education key stages. To this end, a questionnaire was distributed among education centres and teachers in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, obtaining 109 valid responses. The analysis methodology was the formation of clusters using the K-means model. The results confirmed that the teachers perceived a medium-high level of knowledge and use of ICT. Moreover, that this digital competence is conditioned by factors such as age, experience, gender, and level of education. In conclusion, public administrations are encouraged to facilitate teachers' knowledge and application of ICT according to the profiles identified.
随着时间的推移，信息通信技术（ICT）在我们生活的大多数领域，包括教育领域，发挥着越来越重要的作用。以至于在新冠疫情期间，使用这些工具对于继续教学过程至关重要。如今教师面临的一大挑战是需要通过掌握必要的数字技能来适应这种新的教育场景。本研究的目的是确定大学预科教育关键阶段的教学能力水平。为此，向埃斯特雷马杜拉自治区的教育中心和教师发放了一份问卷，获得了109份有效回复。分析方法是使用K均值模型进行聚类。结果证实，教师认为自己对ICT的知识掌握程度和使用水平处于中高水平。此外，这种数字能力受到年龄、经验、性别和教育水平等因素的制约。总之，鼓励公共管理部门根据所确定的特征促进教师对ICT的知识掌握和应用。
