Abstract

Contemporary society increasingly demands the use of digital tools in different areas of life, including in the teaching and learning process. The virtuality generated by cyberspace was even more evident in the current pandemic context, which caused the interruption of classroom classes and imposed a new educational model based on online education methodologies. Teachers had to adapt and reinvent their pedagogical practices and teaching methodologies in a virtual learning environment, often without guidance and without essential digital skills to promote quality learning. In this context, this chapter presents an excerpt from a bibliographical study that aimed to understand how distance education can contribute to promote the development of digital skills. Here, the results regarding the development of digital teaching skills are portrayed, with the indication of references and models that can be used to enable training proposals in this regard in addition to contributing to a reflection on the lack of institutional policies and programs for training teachers for online teaching.
