DOCTORAL THESISTraining the Mathematics Teaching Staff in Information and Comunication TecnhmologiesThe doctoral Thesis about Training the Mathematics Teaching Staff in Information and Comunication Technologies, based on the secondary education schools of the Tarragona regions, had, as its main aims, to do research into the knowledge, use and educational needs of the teaching staff who were consulted on the technological resources, in order to take out important elements which could be used as a guide for their future training.Taking this problem into account, it was chosen to do a descriptive research since it was the most suitable option -due to the exploratory aim of this research- in order to test, describe, contrast and interpret the teaching staff's view about their training in technological resources. We started on the development of this research through the method of the inquiry, based on the use of a questionnaire as a tool to collect data. The population who were inquired were formed by 254 mathematics teachers from the secondary education schools of the Tarragona regions.The thesis is arranged in nine chapters which are organized in two blocks. The first one (Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4) deals with the Theoretic Frame wich is a bibliographical research and the groundwork for the Empirical Work carried out in the second block (capters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9).The first block or Theoretic Frame deals with: chapter 1 is about the impacte on education of the evolution of the society of Information and knowledge caused by the technological advances. Mainly the impact of these changes on the mathematical education and the training of people, chiefly of the ones who have to teach, the teaching staff; in chapter 2 we approach the figure of the mathematics teacher, trying to gi
