LOS DOCENTES UNIVERSITARIOS ANTE LA INCORPORACIÓN DE LAS TECNOLOGÍAS DE LA INFORMACIÓN Y LA COMUNICACIÓN AL ACTO DIDÁCTICO

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to diagnose the situation of teachers from University Institute of Technology of Valencia in terms of knowledge, practices, training needs, views and interests related to the incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the teaching practice. This type of study is classified as an exploratory research. It was implemented using the combination of both research approaches: quantitative and qualitative. This model involves two stages and applies one approach first and then the other, almost independently, and each stage follows the techniques for each approach. The results indicated that, at that time, the IUT-Valencia was not equipped with the necessary conditions, in terms of teaching training in ICT nor the necessary resources in terms of technological infrastructure to allow the incorporation of ICT into the teaching practice. Nevertheless, professors are ready and highly motivated to use ICT in their educational practice, after a training period for it.
