This article presents the results of a research study aimed at identifying the degree of self-perceived digital competence of future Social Educators, focusing on the dimensions of their knowledge, use, and attitudes towards ICTs, and on the gender variable, considered a fundamental basis for their professional development in a networked society. The methodology used was quantitative ex-post-facto, with an online questionnaire to collect the data. Descriptive, inferential and correlational analyses were carried out. Results show that neither male nor female Social Educators are prepared to teach in a networked society.

Keywords : Networked Society; Information and Communication Technologies; Digital competence; Social Education.
