Currently, the development and aid of technological resources has
become crucial for teachers to improve their classes; for this reason, it is
imperative to have the necessary tools available. This study seeks to obtain
information about the availability and use of ICT resources from secondary
school students and teachers of English from public, subsidised, and private
schools in the province of Concepción. The focus of ICT resources will be
directed towards an educational purpose so that a proper definition for this
research instrument is set. The sample consists of 57 secondary school teachers
of English and 182 secondary students, both from different types of schools. The
information retrieved from two surveys created for both groups will be
compared in order to see if there is any significant difference between what is
stated by teachers and students, and by novice teachers and experienced
teachers. The data to compare corresponds to the availability of ICT, the
frequency of use of ICT, the use of these resources for pedagogical purposes,
the use for management purposes, and the frequency in which teachers request
students to use ICT for their lessons. The results of this research show that
students and teachers, who have a similar view regarding the use of ICT given
by teachers in the school context in private, subsidised, and public schools.
