The research conducted arises through observation in the scenarios of pedagogical practices and also within the curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education during the periods 2020-2 and 2021-1. Within these scenarios, difficulties were evidenced regarding the technological competence of teachers in training, having opportunities for improvement in terms of knowledge, management, integration and implementation of digital resources and technological tools. Within the research, reviewed documents were taken into account as support in the present study. At the local level, Carreño (2020) was found in his research entitled "ICT competencies in sixth semester students of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education at the Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores", where he managed to propose a didactic strategy to guide teachers in training of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education regarding the use of technological tools in the teaching-learning processes. At the local level, Carreño (2020) was found in his research entitled "ICT competencies in sixth semester students of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education at the Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores", where he managed to propose a didactic strategy to guide teachers in training for the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education regarding the use of technological tools in the teaching-learning process. Following the same line of antecedents, at the national level, the Colombian Ministry of National Education (2013) proposes a guide of tics competences for the professional development of teachers. This guide is organized by a tic pentagon that refers to five competences (technological, pedagogical, communicative, management and research) and by three specific levels (explorer, integrator, innovator) and, finally, at the international level there is a study called "Virtual learning environments and their relationship between pedagogical elements and didactic resources. MUNDO RECURSIVO" proposed by Peña et al. (2018) in Ecuador, whose objective was to establish the pedagogical elements and didactic resources that should be used in EVA. In order to meet the objectives of the research, a digital didactic resource based on Virtual Learning Environments was proposed with the purpose of strengthening the competence. The methodology used was based on a mixed approach, with concurrent nesting with prevalence in the qualitative approach and the participation of teachers in training of first, third and seventh semester in a higher education institution in Bogota.
