Evolution, ICT, CT, PET, TRICAbstract
The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the educational world has evolved towards ICT, TEP and TRIC, therefore, teachers are forced to know them in order to be able to apply them effectively in their classes. This study aims to check the knowledge that 489 teachers have about the concepts of ICT, TAC, TEP and TRIC before and after receiving a lecture on their meaning. To do so, a comparative quantitative method has been carried out by applying an initial and a final survey on the knowledge of these concepts. The results obtained have shown that the instruction has been positive in improving the teachers' knowledge of the four concepts and the assessment of their perception of them.
