This document presents the analysis of self-perception on the level of ICT skills (technological, pedagogical, communicative, of management, and research), of a sample of students and teachers from 16 Complementary Training Programs (PFC) of the Superior Normal Schools in agreement with UPTC in 2017. The research used the mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative), based on the collection of information in a structured survey, which was applied to a stratifed sample proportional to the number of teachers and students. The global results show the aspects that must be strengthened in ICT qualifcation, such as the application of copyright rules, the use of ICT to help in the development of critical thinking and the resolution of real-life problems, the implementation of educational projects that allow students to reflect on their learning, the dissemination of research results through ICTs, and the active participation in educational and / or scientifc networks and communities, for the collective construction of knowledge. It is also necessary to take into account the adoption of school policies for the use of ICT. The above shows an approach and an overview of ICT training for PFC students (early childhood and basic primary trainers) and teachers (higher normal educators), allowing decision-making and the generation of recommendations and policies to integrate and use ICT as educational innovation, according to the contexts of the Superior Normal Schools.
