Cover Story: The importance of research in the digital gender gap is due to the social commitment to eliminate gender barriers that still persist in many spheres, among which are the training of primary school and secondary school teachers. This study aims to explore differences by gender regarding the digital competence of teachers (DCT), both in training and in service. Therefore, it is relevant to analyze the methodologies that are being implemented in university classrooms and to evaluate possible new interventions to reduce the digital gender gap. Results show that, concerning the teaching task, compared to men, women participants have a very poor self-perception in terms of their DCT, as well as a lower predisposition towards technologies. We conclude by emphasizing the need to transform teaching methodologies in initial teacher education by means of the correct inclusion of ICT tools. View this paper.
