Abstract

The objective of the present study was to examine the problems in particular with respect to the technologies used in the distance education process and the levels of adoption of distance education by teachers. The research was carried out under a descriptive quantitative approach, with a sample consisting of 572 teachers in Peru, in which an online Google Forms questionnaire was applied. The results reveal that teachers are at a level of improvement of the integration of technology and, therefore, they integrate technology as a transformation of learning.
