N2 - The objective of this study was to diagnose teaching competencies within the framework of the TPACK model among university professors in Ecuador. A validated questionnaire was administered that measures the dimensions of technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and content knowledge (CK), as well as their intersections (PCK, TCK, TPK, and TPACK). The research was conducted using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional approach with a descriptive and inferential scope. The sample consisted of 391 professors, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests). The results showed high levels of CK and PK, while the dimensions related to TK and their combinations presented greater weaknesses. Significant differences were identified by gender and age, but not by type of institution or in the overall level of TPACK. It is concluded that, although there is a solid pedagogical and disciplinary foundation, it is necessary to strengthen technological integration through continuing education strategies that address the deficiencies of university professors in Ecuador.
