Pedagogical technological knowledge and use of digital technologies in emerging remote teaching by university teachers

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered university teaching. This paper describes the methodological design and results of an investigation that aimed to analyze the level of technological-pedagogical knowledge and the use of digital technologies by teachers of a Mexican public university who had to face the challenge of teaching remotely during the pandemic. To collect the data, an electronic questionnaire was applied to 384 teachers and frequencies, contrasts and correlations of variables were analyzed. It was found that teachers present a medium level of technological knowledge, being digital technologies for teaching and evaluating the least used. A significant and moderate correlation between the use of technologies and technological-pedagogical knowledge was also detected, highlighting age as a moderating variable of technological knowledge.
