COMPETÊNCIAS DIGITAIS DOCENTES NA EDUCAÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA

The growing presence of digital technologies in the educational context has required new professional competencies from teachers, especially regarding the pedagogical integration of these resources into teaching and learning processes. This article aims to analyze, through a bibliographic study, the digital competencies required of teachers in contemporary education. Based on authors such as Tardif, Kenski, Nóvoa, and UNESCO documents, the study discusses teacher education in light of current technological, pedagogical, and social demands. The methodology consists of a systematic bibliographic review of scientific productions published between 2019 and 2025. Data analysis shows that the development of teachers’ digital competencies involves not only technical mastery of technologies but also pedagogical, ethical, and critical aspects. It is concluded that initial and continuing teacher education should integrally address the development of these competencies to promote innovative educational practices aligned with the demands of the digital society.
