This article focus on the attitudes of teachers about the implementation of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in Ecuadorian schools. While the advantages of ICT in
education are well researched, much less is known about the attitudes of teachers towards
them. This article provides a qualitative interpretative analysis of the opinions and attitudes of
56 teachers in Ecuador. The produced results acknowledged that implementation of ICT in
schools is a difficult task due to a lack of materials and resources, high organisational and
social demands perceived by teachers, competition caused by younger teachers and students,
and job and personal insecurity. Finally, this article suggests some aspects that should be
considered and some actions that should be taken in order to minimize these negative aspects.
