The impact of information and communication technologies has made that teachers transform their condition, eager about training aspects necessary to understand the implications of these technologies in the educational context, establishing a critical stance before the use of these tools in contexts with ICT. The work is a descriptive research of mixed type, supported on the theory based on a literature review and the use of methods such as data triangulation, in order to correlate surveys and Likert tests. As a result, a proposal it’s outlined for teacher training aimed at developing conceptual elements and skills to address the learning in the higher education layer. Some of the conclusions lead to mention the teacher training with conceptual and contextual fundaments for the teacher to acquire participation with the purpose of understanding the particular needs of their pedagogical praxis.
