Abstract:

One of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the 2030 Agenda is directly related to the quality of education. Today's classroom has had to adapt to a new scenario, in which educational technologies or ICT for education have assumed a very important role in the teacher's classroom dynamics. In this sense, and taking into account the new requirements set for optimal teacher development in primary classrooms, this study has surveyed 706 teachers from more than 20 different countries, responsible for children from 6 to 12 years old, to know their ways of working and their capabilities for the use of ICT in teaching and learning processes. From an exploratory study with a mixed approach, it has been possible to detect that teachers do not always see themselves capable of confidently applying and innovating in their classes from the use of educational technologies. The results of this study suggest the identification of 4 different training dimensions, which will serve as a basis for structuring training materials and guides, to support teachers in their daily teaching practice in this new scenario, where ICTs are increasingly strengthening their role in primary education classrooms.
