The development of digital competencies is currently being considered as one of the key factors for everyday life, impacting education, professional careers, as well as the access to a full citizenship. Since these competencies are not innate and they must be developed in some period of life, it is important to investigate how teacher training courses in Brazil are dealing with them, since they are meant to be future teachers of the new generations. For this purpose, a systematic analysis of the literature (peer-reviewed articles) indexed in repositories and scientific databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) and SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) was used, and the period established for the search was from 2001 to 2021. It is expected these students to be fully aware of the importance of these competencies and their impacts in current and future lives. However, results have shown that such competencies are not being adequately considered in curricula or in pedagogical projects at teacher training courses. The lack of proper infrastructure in schools and the digital gaps in Brazilian society are additional barriers that must be faced by these pre-service teachers.
