GALVEZ-DE-LA-CUESTA, María del Carmen; GERTRUDIX-BARRIO, Manuel and GARCIA-GARCIA, Francisco. Open Data and Education: Teacher Training in the Digital Society. Pág. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.2, pp.1-20. Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1688-7468. https://doi.org/10.22235/pe.v13i2.1913.
The educational environment faces an inevitable adaptation to the digital environment, where the uncritical consumption of information by students is constant. Ensuring critical consumption requires intensifying the processes of media and information literacy, linked to the digital competence of teachers, which can be reinforced by the use of multimedia products based on open data. The purpose of this research is to analyze the degree of digital literacy and media education that future teachers of Primary Education possess. A case study methodology was adopted, through semi-structured interviews with the teachers in charge of training future teachers in Primary Education at the University of Castilla la Mancha (Spain). The interpretation of results was made using the content analysis technique, with an exhaustive review model. The need to promote media and information literacy in the field of teacher training is concluded.
