description It is the faculty members who can generate the greatest changes in universities around the world, based on the establishment of defined policies. On the teachers falls the responsibility of training and orienting students—the primary users of these institutions. The objective of the present study is to define what have been the perceptions and the changes among teaching faculty in the process of implementing information technologies in the South University Center, University of Guadalajara (Mexico). Questionnaires were distributed to 42 of the institution’s 320 teachers. Four areas were addressed: technological infrastructure; teacher training and support; reasons for implementing information and communication technologies; and modification of the teaching/learning process. Based on the surveyees’ answers, categories of analysis were developed; these were used to define the needs of the group. Next a process of research-action was carried out with a group of faculty interested in changing their educational practices; the group members received several different training courses. Most of the professors accepted the implementation of the technologies in their academic programs, although many of them had not put them into practice. On the other hand, they pointed out the importance of having the necessary infrastructure and training support, as well as constant technical, methodological and didactic assistance.

Los docentes son los actores que mayores cambios pueden generar en las universidades de todo el mundo, a partir del establecimiento de políticas definidas. En ellos recae la responsabilidad de formación y orientación de los alumnos, principales usuarios de estas instituciones. El objetivo del presente trabajo es definir cuál ha sido la percepción y el cambio de los docentes en el proceso de implementación de las tecnologías de la información en el Centro Universitario del Sur, de la Universidad de Guadalajara (México). Para ello se aplicó un cuestionario a 42 de los 320 docentes de dicha institución, en el que se abordaron cuatro ejes: infraestructura tecnológica, apoyo y formación docente, motivos para la implementación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, y modificación del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. A partir de las respuestas de los docentes se generaron categorías de análisis, con las que se definieron las demandas del grupo. Después se trabajó en un proceso de investigación-acción con un grupo de docentes interesados en cambiar su práctica educativa, a quienes se les impartieron diferentes cursos de capacitación. La mayoría de los profesores mostró aceptación a implementar las tecnologías a sus programas académicos, aunque muchos de ellos no lo han llevado a la práctica. Por otro lado, señalaron la importancia de contar con la infraestructura necesaria y el apoyo formativo, así como una asistencia técnica, metodológica y didáctica constante.
