Abstract

The research presented is framed in the context of educational technology (ET), and specifically in its use as a support tool for students with specific learning difficulties (SLD). This is descriptive quantitative research, the objective of which is to know what students know about the use of educational technology, the perceived usefulness of educational applications, and the use of educational technology as support for students with specific learning difficulties. In order to answer this question, a data-collection instrument was designed that included an ad hoc questionnaire made up of three blocks to evaluate the use of ET, the perceived usefulness of educational applications, as well as ET as a support for students with SLD. The participating sample is made up of students from different teacher training degrees of the Faculty of Education of the University of Burgos ( n = 130). After the descriptive analysis was carried out, the results that were obtained allowed us to conclude that ET is an excellent proposal for the classroom, and that, due to its adaptability, it can, and should, be a frequent resource for achieving educational objectives, and especially as support for students with SLD.
