Currently, teacher training programs are called to reflect on the relevance of their curriculum and the pedagogical practices deployed by teacher-trainers around the development of digital skills, according to the challenges posed by the knowledge society. In this context, this research article aims to determine the dimensions that promote the development of digital skills among teachers in initial training phases. This is a quantitative field study conducted through the descriptive analysis method, which applies a questionnaire and factorial analysis as instruments to determine the variables of interest. The results are described based on four dimensions that explain digital skills: ICT appropriation (D1), educational methodology through ICT (D2), teacher training in ICT (D3), and attitudes towards ICT (D4). Our findings relate the dimensions that frame the knowledge society and the level of digital competence of trainee teachers. The factors that evaluate the favorable attitude towards ICT and the commitment to the development of good practices with the integration of technology are significantly appreciated. However, participating teachers expressed their difficulties for addressing the factors related to the planning and methodological implementation of evaluation processes mediated by ICT, since these factors require the articulation of the knowledge they teach with the application of ICT resources, which transforms content-focused practice towards practices that promote innovation and skills training.
