Abstract

Educational process takes place in a highly technological and visual environment, so it is a fundamental need to develop the educator’s visual competency because this ensures they acquire the skills to manage the visual information effectively. This article reports the results of a pilot study that was conducted with educators of one educational institution who attended a training process to develop 6 competencies, which together promote the development of visual competency. In this quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, a convenience sampling method was applied. The sample consisted of 43 educators, whose performance was assessed through a test of 45 questions. The pretest and posttest data of each competence were analyzed and reported separately. The descriptive statistics of the variables, the normality test, and the parametric and non-parametric hypothesis tests show that there are statistically significant differences in the scores of competencies 1, 2, 5, and 6. However, findings indicate that there is a lower score in the posttest of competence 3, and the mean of competence 4 is the same in the pretest and the posttest.
