Abstract

This article intends to investigate the theme of mental representations, perceptions and visions of teachers with respect to the use of digital technologies in the classroom. The UTAUT questionnaire was administered to a sample of 350 teachers during a training course in ICT in the period between September 2019 and January 2020. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted through the use of the t-test, correlation and ANOVA. The results that emerged describe a strong relationship between resistance to the use of technology and years of service or gender of respondents. The purpose of this article is to provide an innovative look at the research into the use of digital technologies in the school context.
