Evaluation of the presence of digital competences in higher education institutions

Abstract:

Assessing the presence of digital skills in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is twofold. In addition to serving as a diagnosis for such institutions, it allows you to have a general idea of the digital skills of future professionals. The Latin American region, consisting mostly of developing countries, is no stranger to this issue. However, as of today, no research exists about measuring the level of digital competence in Latin American HEIs. The present work contributes to solving this question by applying a meta-analysis of proportions, in which 357 indexed studies were processed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases during the 2014-2019 period. Of these, only 16 met our selection criteria. It was determined that the presence of digital skills in HEIs in Latin America can be classified as moderate (64%).
