This article focuses on gender equality as one of the most relevant objectives of the educational system to alleviate gender violence and combat stereotypes. At the same time, ICTs have become a very important educational tool in a digital society like the one where we live. Around these two topics we conducted this research whose purpose is, from the scientific production of the last six years, to analyze the educational practices in formal contexts that deal with gender equality and ICTs (infant, primary, secondary and higher education). The research design is a systematic review, based on the PRISMA statement and the PICoS strategy, using the 2013-2019 search period. After a screening process of a total of 90 documents, 18 papers were found that cover both study topics (gender and ICTs). A content analysis supported by semantic networks was performed, using Atlas.ti v.8. Among the main results, we highlight that most of the good practices in the different educational levels are related to the use of web 2.0. and STEM competences. Finally, we recommend the design of proposals that work on gender through ICTs, with the "smart classroom" as an interesting suggestion that is part of the emerging pedagogies.

This article presents the results of research focused on designing and validating an evaluation instrument to certify university professors' competency in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). Based on a discussion group and a pilot test, we designed an instrument that was validated by experts. The methodology for its elaboration revolved around a continuous cycle of design, validation, analysis, and redesign. In the end, the instrument was structured in three blocks that can certify the ICT competency of university professors at three levels of mastery: bases of knowledge that support action with ICT; the design, implementation, and evaluation of action with ICT; and individual and/or collective critical reflection on action with ICT.
