Knowledge of information and communication technologies as a teaching tool for university teachers in times of pandemic

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the use of Information and Communication Technologies as a university teaching tool for teachers in times of pandemic. This study was framed within the feasible project modality, as a descriptive field study based on a transectional design and supported by a quantitative approach. In the collection of primary data and content, the techniques of document review and survey were used. The population and the sample were made up of a total of 22 elements. To collect the information, a questionnaire structured by (18) items on a nominal scale of dichotomous responses was administered: (1) Yes or (2) No. This instrument was validated by the judgment of three (03) experts. Reliability was obtained using the Kuder-Richardson (KR20) technique, which yielded a confidence level of 89%. The data were analyzed using frequency tables and pie charts supported by descriptive statistics. Among the results, it was possible to show that in 59.09% of the cases, the teacher involves the use of technology as a means of research. It was concluded that there is a marked tendency to continue promoting traditional teaching and learning strategies, which are not in line with current technological advances.
