TELIZ, Fabián. Didactic use of ICT within the good practices in Mathematics Teaching: Study of the opinions and conceptions of Secondary School teachers in the department of Artigas. Cuad. Investig. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.2, pp.13-31. ISSN 1510-2432.

The present work is an approach to the didactic uses of ICT within the good practices in Mathematics Teaching -particularly in the department of Artigas- based on the analysis of teachers' reviews and conceptions. The topic has become relevant taking into consideration that the Plan Ceibal has extended to the sphere of Secondary Education and that little research has been carried out about the impact of ICT at this level. The present research has been undertaken through a methodological triangulation approach including qualitative and quantitative methods. First of all, a self-administrated poll was applied to all Math teachers of the department of Artigas. For a deeper qualitative approach, a non probabilistic sample of five teachers was selected, with interview as the main technique. Document analysis was used as an additional technique. After reviewing the available studies, instruments were adjusted and upon completion of data recollection, the results were triangulated. Findings revealed that teachers maintain a positive attitude toward integrating ICT into their teaching practices. Those items related to teaching prevailed over those related to learning. However, the instrumental -and limited- use of ICT shows that such technologies are not being applied from a constructivist perspective, evidencing, thus, the predominance of traditional teaching practices. Other aspects that condition the use of ICT in the practice of Math teaching were identified. Such depended, in general, on institutional variables that inhibit teachers from training and working with ICT, obstacles that should be overcome in order to promote a real incorporation and integration of these technologies at an institutional level.
