Relación entre las competencias digitales y la actitud hacia la innovación curricular: el rol del aprendizaje colaborativo

Curricular innovation is a critical challenge in education, driven by the integration of digital technologies. This study examines the role of collaborative learning in the relationship between digital skills and attitude toward curricular innovation in 203 postgraduate students in online university teaching programs. Validated instruments were used: the Digital Skills Scale (Organista-Sandoval et al.), the Questionnaire on Attitudes toward Curricular Innovation (Riquelme and Folch, 2017), and the Collaborative Learning Scale (Solís Castillo, 2022). Results reveal that digital skills significantly impact academic collaboration (β=0.393; p<0.001), which, in turn, influences the attitude toward curricular innovation (β=0.381; p<0.001). The full mediation of collaborative learning was confirmed through Hayes’ mediation model, reducing the direct influence of digital skills. It is concluded that fostering collaborative learning is crucial to promoting a positive attitude toward curricular innovation in postgraduate educational contexts.
