The training of teachers in digital competencies and their application in the learning process are essential for the adequate preparation of future professionals in an increasingly digitalized and globalized labor market. The objective of this article was to analyze the perceptions and experiences about digital competencies of teachers who teach courses in the Master of Curriculum and University Teaching and in the Master of Psychopedagogy, at the Latin American University of Science and Technology, exploring the relationship between digital competencies and their application in higher education during the second quarter of the year 2022. With a qualitative methodological design and a descriptive approach, the study used a perception questionnaire to inquire about teachers’ digital teaching competencies. The results obtained showed how they defined digital competencies and their application in higher education. These perceptions underscored the importance of integrating digital technologies into the educational environment, using varied approaches and strategies that would enhance learning and digital interaction in the classroom. Finally, this study highlighted the importance of integrating teachers’ digital competencies in the learning process, updating and diversifying technological training courses in higher education. In addition, emphasis was placed on the creation of spaces that would allow teachers to apply and develop their technological skills to face the challenges of a constantly evolving digital environment.
