• Abstract:

  Digital skills are a fundamental skill that students must acquire to be successful in the world of work. Indicators are tools that allow us to measure the level of digital competence of students and, therefore, identify areas of opportunity on which efforts must be focused to improve education. Indicators are quantitative or qualitative measures that allow evaluating the performance of students in different areas. In the case of digital competence, indicators can measure the level of knowledge of students in the use of digital tools, their ability to solve problems using technology, their ability to communicate online and their ability to work in a team using digital tools. The importance of indicators lies in the fact that they allow teachers and administrators to identify areas of opportunity in which students need to improve. In addition, the indicators allow teachers and administrators to evaluate the impact of teaching strategies on the level of digital competence of students. It must be taken into account that indicators are fundamental tools to improve education in terms of digital skills. They allow teachers and administrators to identify areas of opportunity in which students need to improve and evaluate the impact of teaching strategies on the level of digital competence of students.
