The Influence of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Teaching-Learning Process: a progress on digital competencies

Abstract

Abstract. Great efforts are made to attend to the needs of a technological society, based on the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in the classroom, by identifying the factors that in-fluence the teaching and learning process (students); in two bilingual spanish-english public institutions, dependant on the Madrid community Ministry of Education, from an analytical-descriptive approach. Structural, behavioral and instrumental variables are examined for the study. Additionally, this article includes a review of the state of the art related to the educational use of new technologies, as well as it measures the perceptions of teachers and students about the use of technological resources, facilities and equipment, along with the support that the educational institutions provide in the institutes under study, which can be taken as a starting point for further research.
