Abstract
In the 21st century, continuous innovations in the field of science and technology, especially those related to ICTs, have impacted all areas of human activity. Education, being a holistic process, cannot be separated from this reality. Consequently, these innovations must be considered in the curriculum of computer pedagogical careers. The objective of this study is to analyze the curricula of Ecuadorian universities that offer computer pedagogy courses, through a mixed, documentary and descriptive study, comparing them with innovations in educational ICT. The reviewed grids correspond to the 2023-2024 academic period of seven Ecuadorian universities. The results showed progress in the incorporation of ICT innovations. However, there are topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, mobile development and 3D printing, among others, that still need to be addressed in a more frontal way within the academic curricula.
