Abstract

The purpose of this document was to explore the level of knowledge of the first, second and third year baccalaureate teachers of the Naval Academy of Guayaquil, their perception and pedagogical use of ICT to determine their digital competences and analyze whether they guarantee an adequate level of teaching-learning. As instruments were used the Evaluation of Self-perceived Digital Competences (Perez and Rodriguez, 2016), the Basic Questionnaire to Probe the Level of Knowledge of Use of ICT (ICESI University, 2017) and Implementation of Computer Technologies: Practices and Perceptions of the Professors (Wozney, Venkatesh and Abrami, 2006). The research was of quantitative type, of exploratory-descriptive-correlational, non-experimental, transversal scope, with a sample of 85 teachers, which represented the entire teaching population of the lyceum. The data collection was carried out through personal surveys, applying the respective questionnaires. The results showed that teachers do not possess an extraordinary domain of ICT but they are not totally indifferent to them and that most teachers have instrumental knowledge of ICT. Regarding the perception of teachers, they consider that ICTs are paramount in current education and that learning enriched by ICT is more effective than traditional approaches. It is also appreciated that they make use of IT, either as an organizational method or as an information method; and, that its frequency of employment is lower when it is directed for the instruction and for the investigation.
