Abstract

This chapter describes research developed in the Spanish educational framework in 2020, during the period of home confinement, which was carried out with the purpose of reducing the spread of the COVID-19 disease. The aim of this research is to find out about the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and two groups of digital technologies and the effects of this use. The tools analyzed were: i) six digital tools for communication and ii) nine digital tools for instructional design, in a group of 108 practicing teachers, aged between 23 and 65 years. They participated in this study by answering an online questionnaire called EDU-COVID [1]. Most of the teachers worked in public schools (69.4%), in several autonomous communities in Spain. The largest representation was from Castile and Leon (39.8%). These analyses revealed statistically significant differences in perceptions of the use of digital tools according to variables such as gender and type of school. Based on these findings, the study discusses and evaluates the educational suggestions of the new educational reforms aimed at digitizing teaching. The research provides information on the impact of digital technologies on teaching, assessing ongoing efforts to improve the quality of teachers’ ICT instruction.
