SOBRADO, Luis; CEINOS, Mª Cristina  and  FERNANDEZ, Elena. Planificación y desarrollo de un mapa de habilidades TIC en orientación. Comunicar [online]. 2010, vol.18, n.35, pp.167-174. ISSN 1988-3293.

The main purpose of this article focuses on identifying specific Information and Communication Technologies skills, particularly those related to web pages and e-mail, useful in the implementation of guidance functions and tasks. To this end, a competence map overlaid on those of a technological and coaching character was designed, and it also produces a matrix that considered seven areas of focus grouped by International Association Educational and Vocational Guidance: evaluation, educational guidance, career development, counselling, information management, research and evaluation and placement. It also took into account three types of approaches to the counsellor regarding the use of ICT in guidance, as a resource, medium and development of guidance materials and two of these tools (websites and e-mail). The effective integration of Information and Communication Technologies and its effective use by guidance professionals is based on their competence. This resource, open and flexible, requires a continuous updating in order to be useful in the implementation of guidance tasks, in the self-assessment of competence by professionals; diagnosis of deficits in the design, planning and development training and guidance actions. It is also an instrument of great relevance and usefulness to guidance practitioners to explore the training needs and their occupational profile and to motivate their professional development.
