Abstract

The health situation resulting from Covid-19 has led to a pedagogical transformation in the context of education, taking teaching from face-to-face to telematic. Therefore, the aim was to provide percentile values of the diagnostic questionnaire and teacher training for the incorporation of ICT in students with functional diversity considering gender, years of experience, educational stage and type of island. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study was designed with a sample of 678 teachers. The questionnaire used was called Diagnosis and teacher training for the incorporation of ICT in students with functional diversity. The Hotelling test showed significant differences for the variables sex (F= 9.915; p < 0,001), years of experience (F= 5.318; p < 0,001), educational stage (F= 7.916; p < 0,001) and type of island (F= 5.812; p < 0,001). In conclusion, this study provides updated percentiles in a population of teachers in the Canary Islands regarding the diagnosis and training for the incorporation of ICT in students with functional diversity considering gender, years of experience, educational stage and type of island.
