In-service training of Education professionals for the development of ICT skills

Abstract

The article sets out the theoretical foundations that support the development of competencies in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), as well as a classification proposal provided by the authors. This is the result of their professional experience and the consultation of specialized literature in relation to the ICT competencies of education professionals, as part of which the training of these professionals is analyzed in the context of contemporary pedagogical practice. The results of the study reveal that the progress in the availability of ICTs in schools has been significant in recent years. However, the reality of training of education professionals for their employment still shows deficiencies in which attention should be paid in order to achieve an integration of these technologies into contemporary teaching and learning processes.
