Abstract

A cross-sectional, descriptive research was carried out in 74 medical teachers of the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara to describe their level of experience in the use of ICT. An instrument was applied to evaluate the teacher's self-perception in the use of educational technologies. It was found that around 50% of the teachers perceived themselves as ICT teachers; a lower percentage of teachers evaluated themselves as TAC teachers and an even lower percentage of teachers evaluated themselves as TEP teachers. The above evidence a low level in the management of information and communication technologies. In this study, it was observed that the strength of association was slight between the variable age and each of the competencies studied. Continuous and progressive training is proposed from the beginning of the teacher's incursion into the educational work, with which a higher level of teaching competence can be generated and therefore, a better impact on medical training.
