Abstract

The intention of this research work is to measure the level of knowledge and classroom usage of  technological resources of the teachers at Seis de Octubre High School, in Ventanas, Los Rios Province. The obtained data are based on the application of empirical methods to teachers, authorities, and students, who made it possible to assess the level of computing knowledge and demonstrate a deficit in the usage of information technology.  This study was carried out in class under the descriptive type field research, with a case study methodology.  The findings of the investigation confirm that not using technological resources in class provokes backwardness in good pedagogical practice supported by technology.   It is proposed to design a continuous Informatics educational program and training  for teachers, in order to generate important changes in the members of the institution, such as high competitiveness of teachers and an education that meets the technological advances that have a significant influence on our society.
