Abstract

The main aim of this study was to analyze the training in ICT of Primary Physical Education teachers, according to this model. The Spanish translation of the TPACK survey and Computer Self-Efficacy scale was administered along items to measure the Internet use. A sample of 60 physical education teachers from 40 schools in Seville and Huelva were selected. The results revealed that TPACK perceptions of physical education teachers were at satisfactory levels, especially in the pedagogical component and content knowledge. Also, the teachers showed acceptable levels in the computer self-efficacy scale, by means of using the Internet daily with a social purpose rather than professional. Positive correlations were found in terms of the most important variables of the study (4 types of knowledge of the TPACK and self-efficacy in the use of ICT). Specifically, the technological knowledge (TK, PCK+TPK and TPACK) correlations with computer self-efficacy were higher.
