Course context for academic year 2026-27

The incorporation of Digital Classrooms into the school context is an increasingly common reality.

Within the framework of the Degree in Primary Education, digital technologies (DT) are understood as:

  • a core area of training in initial teacher education, linked to teachers’ digital literacy;
  • a resource for learning, teaching, and continuing to learn throughout life;
  • and a key element in the design, development, and assessment of teaching and learning processes in Primary Education.

Therefore, this course consolidates and broadens students’ instrumental knowledge, fosters critical reflection on the educational integration of digital technologies into the Primary Education curriculum, and promotes an attitude of lifelong learning in response to technological and pedagogical changes in the educational context.

  • CE6 : Encourage students to act as responsible and critical citizens to promote the shared construction of democratic standards of coexistence and work together to resolve problematic situations and conflicts.
