Abstract:
This article discusses the plans that contribute to the development of digital competence for students in Galicia (Spain). From 1100 public schools, 18 programs were selected. A concurrent triangulation mixed-methods design was applied. The content analysis of the proposals has been combined with impact statistics in schools and a Geographic Information System (GIS). The results show prioritized digital competence dimensions and a partial projection across the set of schools: 26% do not incorporate any programs, whilst 5% implement five or more of these initiatives. The findings question the principle of equity in education that prevails in the public education system.
