Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the professional ethical knowledge of teachers in the use of technologies by teachers in training. Starting from the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model to measure the correct inclusion of technologies in the classroom, a descriptive mixed methodological design study has been carried out. The instruments used were the Likert scale questionnaire and the personal interview, both organized in four dimensions on the professional ethical knowledge, the ethics of technology, the pedagogical technological ethics and the disciplinary technological ethics of future teachers. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 632 professors in training from a European university in the context of COVID-19 and 429 students participated in the interview.

The findings revealed little or no training in professional ethical knowledge of the teachers in training; the need to deepen such knowledge to face the current, pandemic and post-pandemic context of education and the importance of including the ethical component in the TPACK model for a correct and ethical implementation of digital resources in the classroom.
