                <p>Esta investigación analiza cómo la edad y la experiencia docente influyen en la valoración que el profesorado realiza de la formación permanente, con especial énfasis en la competencia digital como eje creciente de las políticas educativas actuales. A partir de una muestra de 978 docentes de enseñanzas no universitarias, se examina la percepción de la pertinencia, calidad, gestión y utilidad de la oferta formativa. Los datos muestran que la valoración de la formación varía significativamente según la experiencia y edad. El profesorado situado en la etapa de consolidación presenta los niveles más altos de
satisfacción, mientras que los docentes noveles y veteranos expresan menor ajuste entre sus necesidades y la oferta disponible. Todos los grupos reconocen la elevada calidad técnica de las formaciones y de los ponentes, lo que indica que las diferencias no se deben a la calidad intrínseca, sino a la pertinencia percibida y al grado de adecuación biográfica. El estudio concluye que la formación permanente, especialmente la orientada a la competencia digital, debe diseñarse a través de itinerarios diferenciados que respondan a las necesidades específicas de cada etapa profesional, favoreciendo un desarrollo docente más coherente, contextualizado y sostenible.</p>

                <p>This research analyzes how age and teaching experience influence teachers&amp;#039; assessment of lifelong learning, with special emphasis on digital competence as a growing axis of current educational policies. Based on a sample of 978 non-university education teachers, the perception of the relevance, quality, management, and usefulness of the training offer is examined. The data show that the valuation of training varies significantly according to experience and age. Teachers in the consolidation stage have the highest levels of satisfaction, while novice and veteran teachers express the least adjustment between their needs and the available supply. All groups recognize the high technical quality of the formations and speakers, indicating that the differences are not due to intrinsic quality, but to perceived relevance and the degree of biographical adequacy. The study concludes that
Lifelong learning, especially that aimed at digital competence, should be designed through differentiated itineraries that respond to the specific needs of each professional stage, favoring a more coherent, contextualized, and sustainable teaching development.</p>
