Abstract

The research presented in this article has emerged from the need to know how prepared teachers are in the area of ICT to face their educational tasks in times of confinement, with the objective of knowing the level of mastery and use of ICT of teachers in times of COVID-19. The methodology used responds to a non-experimental quantitative investigation of a transversal type and exploratory scope. The study population is made up of 148 teachers from four educational establishments and the sample, non-probabilistic for convenience, corresponds to 66 individuals. The results indicate that 78% of the respondents used ICT before the confinement, 30% of the sample did not have training in this area and only 36% feel really prepared to train their students to through ICT. It is concluded that there is no significant lack of knowledge regarding the management and use of ICT in the educational context in times of COVID-19, however, teachers consider that it is a problem to use ICT in the educational context, due to that confinement and non-presence generate a slower feedback between students and teachers, compared to that which occurs in normal educational conditions.
