Abstract

The COVID-19 health crisis has challenged teachers to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with the consequent impact on the attitude towards these media. Present study identify and describes the factors associated with the attitude of Physical Education teachers towards the integration of ICT in the COVID-19 context. The study is qualitative with an exploratory and descriptive intention. 27 cases are studied through documentary analysis and in-depth interviews. 17 factors that influence the attitude of Physical Education teachers towards the integration of ICT during the health crisis are identified, five of which were not found in the reference literature. The attitude towards ICT has been strongly conditioned by a high professional and personal commitment of teachers, which led to the adoption of tools, the adoption and adaptation of methods and practices more supported by ICT. The great challenge for educational institutions points to the development of strategies focused on overcoming the barriers associated with the factors analyzed.
