The digital transformation of schools. Obstacles and resistances

This article presents the design and results of a case study on 40 primary and secondary state schools undertaken to analyze the level or stage of pedagogical and organizational integration of digital technologies in each one of them. An evaluation matrix was developed for data analysis, made up by four stages or phases of digital transformation ( initiation, application, integration, transformation) and eight dimensions of pedagogical and organizational integration of ICT. The main inhibiting factors or obstacles identified were: the shortage of devices for students and teachers; limited connectivity; the instability of the faculty; the lack of leadership that will drive the use of ICT in the school; and the lack of a shared vision of the school management team about the educational potential of ICT.
