This research aims at reviewing the existing literature regarding digital competence or literacy in Ecuador. Digital literacy is a new term, which in Ecuador, was converted into a subject taught in the schools of pedagogy in a mandatory way in colleges all over the country in the pursue of a sound educational program. For this reason, this research sought to analyze systematically articles and research papers that pertained to the field of digital competences in pedagogy by using databases such as EBSCO, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Hinari. The data obtained showed a lack of investigations in the field. Therefore, a search that included a broader use of keywords was applied. The results showed that the field of study and research for digital competences or digital literacy at any level is scarce in Ecuador and that the use of ICTs in general is linked to pre-service and in-service teachers, social inclusion, and EFL pedagogy.
