Resumen

The digital transformation in higher education has generated the need to strengthen the digital competencies of university teachers, allowing them to effectively integrate information and communication technologies (ICT) in their pedagogical practice; however, previous studies have identified a gap in digital teacher training, especially in regions with limited access. The objective of the study was to design and validate a model of ICT-based didactic workshops to improve the digital competencies of university teachers in a Peruvian institution. The research had a quantitative approach, applied and non-experimental cross-sectional design. A survey was applied to 25 teachers, evaluating four dimensions: appropriation, integration, attitude and commitment to the use of ICT. The results showed that 40% of the teachers had a low level of appropriation, 56% had a medium level of integration and 48% had a favorable attitude towards ICT. The validation of the model obtained scores above 4.4 in sufficiency, clarity and coherence. It is concluded that the model is effective in improving teachers' digital competencies, suggesting its implementation in other educational institutions. © The authors.
