Description
Summary:Training in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has become very valuable in the current educational panorama, given the proliferation of digital resources available in the formal and non-formal education context. Fortunately, the field of attention to diversity has also benefited from it. For this reason, it is essential that the professionals who attend to people with functional diversity have a good attitude towards them, as well as training in accordance with their requirements. The aim of this study was to analyse how professionals in Granada (Spain) perceived their ICT training. A total of 404 specialists who worked in the field of attention to diversity were interviewed. In general, participants showed a favourable opinion towards ICT but they expressed a medium-low perception of their digital training. Nevertheless, these results are encouraging, as younger teachers showed a more favourable opinion and training towards ICT. In the long term, this will be a generation that is more educated and aware of the benefits, applicability and usefulness of these resources for working with people with functional diversity.
