abstract = {(1) Background: The introduction of Information and communication technologies (ICTs) in
the area of Physical Education is a very recent phenomenon, and its implementation is a challenge for
teachers in Spain. It implies pedagogic innovation for the improvement of the teaching and learning
processes, especially for people with a disability (functional diversity). The aim of this study was to
identify the degree of technological knowledge (ICT) of the physical education teachers for students
with disabilities. (2) Methods: A sample of 341 Physical Education teachers from Spain volunteered
for this cross-sectional study. A questionnaire named “DIFOTICyD”, created “ad hoc” was used as
the data-gathering instrument. (3) Results: the results revealed the low training of the participants
with respect to the use of the ICTs in the field of disability. The degree of training of the teachers
was determined by the personal (gender, age), professional (teaching experience) and educational
(training received) outcomes. (4) Conclusions: the findings of the study point to the need for didactic
training that can be used to train the Physical Education teachers to use ICTs in order to facilitate the
learning and educational innovation of students with disabilities.},
