ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a disruption of the teaching-learning process in secondary education, which forced to innovate the ways of teaching and learning mathematics. The aim of the study was to analyze and evaluate the level of development of teachers’ digital competencies in the management of virtual mathematics teaching. The research approach was mixed and the design was exploratory-descriptive non-experimental, the study sample consisted of 42 secondary education teachers;three categories of analysis were considered acceptance of digital technology, digital information management and the generation of digital content;the integration of digital technology for the management of teaching-learning was described, the data collection instrument was the questionnaire and the interview.
