Information and Communication Technologies in the Daily Life of Elementary School Teachers: An Attitudinal Framework

Abstract

Within the framework of the inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in primary education classrooms in the City of Toluca, State of Mexico, this research proposes an analysis on the social construction of meaning that teachers make about technology. The focus is mainly on the universe of meaning in which teachers relate to technology, for which it is sought to obtain from teachers a story about how ICT is meant by them.

This communication deals in particular with the element that precedes the possible action and thought around any entity in the universe of meaning: attitude. For the formation of our attitude towards an entity, favorable or not, positive or negative, a previous representation of it is required. The analysis is developed under the structure of three general indicators: What do you think about the technologies? Do you like to use technologies in your daily life? and Do you like to work with technologies?
