Paper Abstract:	The objective of this research is to know the perception of future teachers of Elementary and Early Childhood Education in Blended Learning mode of the Faculty of Education at the Pontifical University of Salamanca on the use of an innovative methodology as is the Project Based Learning (PBL) for the acquisition of digital competence. In order to do this, we are here presenting a didactic proposal using Project Based Learning (PBL) as a methodological approach, which is framed in the subject of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the field of education. A quantitative methodology has been carried out using the technique of the questionnaire for data collection. For the assessment, the Questionnaire of Effectiveness of the use of methodologies for Active Participation (CEMPA) has been used. This has been divided into 4 dimensions: Specific Skills, General Skills, Systemic and Interpersonal Skills (Carrasco, Donoso, Duarte-Atoche, Hernandez & Lopez, 2015). The outcomes are highly positive. These results are supported by other results obtained in former investigations which underwent similar research. Likewise, it is shown that the use of this methodology facilitates the acquisition of digital competence, as well as the development of different skills that are addressed with the use of this type of methodology. In conclusion, it can be established that the PBL has helped students of the Blended Learning mode to obtain a significant learning both, in the Specific skills as in the General and Systemic ones. On the contrary, no significant learning in Interpersonal skills has been obtained. This may be due to the fact that students under the Blended Learning mode have little interaction with the rest of their peers since it takes place mainly through digital channels.
