Abstract

- The objective of this study is to gather information on the use and scope of ICT in the classroom and to deepen knowledge about the teaching experience in secondary education in Paraguay. It is part of a larger study that follows an exploratory qual-quan approach by means of an online questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions consisting of 30 questions on access to and use of technology in the classroom, teacher skills and training, and level of institutional support. A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out to identify the profile of teachers in terms of the level of ICT skills and limited access to technological resources in secondary education institutions. In addition, three factors associated with the professional perception of ICT and 7 factors associated with the degree of appropriation of ICT were identified by means of Exploratory Factor Analysis.
