Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of describing the ICT training needs of primary education teachers in Durango City, Mexico, and, on the other hand, to establish the relationship between gender and their training needs. It is a quantitative study, with an instrumental phase, a descriptive phase and a correlational phase with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The main findings indicate a moderately high training need in ICT, with a greater inclination towards the dimension of incorporation of ICT into pedagogical processes. It contrasts with other research by not finding correlations between gender and training needs. It contributes with a valid and reliable instrument to measure the training needs in ICT for primary education teachers.
