Abstract (English): The inclusion of the module "Digitalisation Applied to Productive Sectors" in all vocational training programmes starting from the 2024–2025 academic year, as established in the new Vocational Education and Training Ley Orgánica 3/2022, de ordenación e integración de la Formación Profesional (España), represents a regulatory step forward in the modernisation of training curricula. Nevertheless, its initial implementation in educational centres has raised significant pedagogical questions. This study does not propose a legal reform but rather analyses the educational impact of this measure from a pedagogical perspective. The article offers a critical analysis of the structural challenges that may hinder the meaningful integration of the module into teaching practices, with the aim of reinforcing its transformative potential. Drawing on a documentary review of recent academic literature, institutional reports and regulatory frameworks, the study identifies four key factors: the gap between training centres and the productive sector, the need to strengthen teachers’ digital competence, the lack of clear criteria for their selection and accreditation, and unequal access to technological resources across VET institutions. The article does not question the principles of the law but seeks to anticipate possible limitations in its roll-out and to propose actions that may contribute to its success. As a contribution, the paper offers recommendations to align curriculum design, teaching practices and the digital demands of the labour market. The aim is to provide tools for education authorities and teaching staff so that the digitalisation module does not become a purely theoretical component disconnected from the productive environment, but instead fulfils its intended role within the transformative spirit of the new law.

Abstract (Spanish): La incorporación del módulo "Digitalización aplicada a los sectores productivos" en todos los ciclos formativos a partir del curso escolar 2024-2025, recogido en la nueva Ley de Formación Profesional Ley Orgánica 3/2022, de ordenación e integración de la Formación Profesional, representa un avance normativo hacia la modernización del currículo formativo. No obstante, su aplicación inicial en los centros educativos está suscitando interrogantes relevantes desde el punto de vista pedagógico. Este estudio no propone una reforma normativa, sino que analiza el impacto educativo de esta medida desde una perspectiva pedagógica. El artículo ofrece un análisis crítico de los desafíos estructurales que podrían dificultar una integración significativa del módulo en la práctica docente, con el objetivo de aportar elementos que refuercen su potencial transformador. A partir de una revisión documental de fuentes académicas recientes, informes institucionales y marcos normativos, se identifican cuatro factores clave: la desconexión con el entorno productivo, la necesidad de fortalecer la capacitación digital del profesorado, la indefinición de criterios para su selección y acreditación, y la desigual disponibilidad de recursos tecnológicos en los centros. El estudio no cuestiona los principios de la ley, sino que se orienta a anticipar posibles limitaciones en su despliegue y a formular propuestas que favorezcan su éxito. Como contribución, se plantean recomendaciones para reforzar la alineación entre currículo, práctica docente y realidad digital del mercado laboral. Con este análisis se busca ofrecer herramientas a las administraciones educativas y al profesorado para que el módulo de digitalización no quede reducido a una formación teórica desvinculada del entorno productivo, y pueda así cumplir su función dentro del espíritu transformador que plantea la nueva ley.
