The achievement of digital competence among students has become a main objective within Spanish educational policies in recent decades. In this regard, the European Framework for Digitally Competent Educational Organizations (DigCompOrg) guides schools in their digitization process in a systematic way. This research evaluates the degree of development of the use of learning technologies in a secondary school in the Region of Murcia (case study) according to the dimensions contemplated in the European model. The research design is based on the ADDIE model and chooses a mixed methodology in which quantitative (SELFIE questionnaire) and qualitative (discussion group) techniques are applied. The results presented here collect the analysis of the qualitative information on secondary school students, teachers and school leaders. This first stage of detection of needs has allowed the center to establish a self-reflection and self evaluation process on its digitization process, as well as the proposal of actions and improvement strategies that reinforce its commitment to digital pedagogies. Among them is the development of a digital strategy for the center, establishing progress evaluation mechanisms or working with digital learning technologies that promote self-evaluation and co-evaluation, all of which are related to the leadership dimensions and evaluative practices of the European model.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
