Abstract

This article presents a research on the integration of mobile phones by teachers of Secondary Education in Las Palmas (Canary Islands, Spain) analyzing their use, attitudes and possibilities. This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) in which a questionnaire of 11 dimensions has been applied to a sample of teachers (n=223), also conducting personal interviews (n=19). Statistical analysis of the data has been univariate and bivariate to obtain the maximum information of crossing variables. The results show a great lack of teachers regarding the educational uses of mobile phone as a tool for teaching and learning (93,3%). However, 56,5% expressed interest in how to carry out their educational integration in the classroom, with the highest incidence among teachers of younger age (36-50 years), more flexible and responsive, coinciding in this orientation, with other studies about incorporation of ICT at school for this educational level.
