| Sumario: | Psychology, as a discipline, did not require the development of digital competencies until a few years ago. However, as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) increase their incursion into the productive environment, the need to develop technological skills to improve the articulation with the labor scenario and market demands increases. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the articulation of ICT within the professional training of psychology in Colombia. To achieve this, a descriptive study with a mixed approach was designed with four observation moments that included all active academic programs leading to a professional degree in psychology (n=134). As a general result, a high integration of ICT in administrative processes is observed, specifically in the digitization of the admission process, and moderate in terms of articulation within psychology programs, which corresponds to the immediate work context, this articulation tends towards the development of use competencies, with little representation of disciplinary or creative technological competencies. This orientation in the development processes of digital competencies could limit the transformational impact of ICT and the access to the gains derived from the technological sector for psychology professionals with all its implications. We recommend further studies that address the issue of training and professional practice of psychology in relation to the articulation of information and communication technologies. |
