ICT Integration in Higher Education: Strategies for the Development of Teachers’ Digital Competences

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in higher education constitutes a strategic axis for the transformation of teaching and learning processes in university contexts. In scenarios characterised by the digitalisation of knowledge, higher education institutions face the challenge of moving beyond instrumental approaches and promoting a pedagogical use of ICT that fosters didactic innovation and meaningful learning. Within this framework, the development of teachers’ digital competences gains relevance as a prerequisite for appropriate and reflective technological integration. The aim of the study was to analyse strategies for ICT integration in higher education and their relationship with the development of digital competences among university teaching staff. The research adopted a descriptive–analytical documentary approach, focused on the critical examination of previously published academic sources, following the general guidelines of the PRISMA protocol. The findings indicate that strategies for technological integration acquire educational value when they are aligned with pedagogical approaches oriented towards learning mediation and the strengthening of university teaching practice.
