This paper focuses on the study of the training processes of rural education teachers who work in the Tequendama region, department of Cundinamarca (Colombia), specifically in three institutions located in the municipality of San Antonio del Tequendama. This object of analysis was chosen due to the need to study teacher training both in pedagogical aspects and in the use of technological tools, essential knowledge to improve the quality of training at various educational levels. The participants, chosen for convenience, were 90 teachers who worked in the 2019 school year. To collect the information, a survey consisting of 27 questions was used in which the training of rural teachers and the knowledge and use of ICT were related. in the classroom. The results show, in terms of ICT, that these technological means are used by teachers more for private and personal purposes than pedagogical, so they have not had the expected impact within the teaching-learning processes. In addition, it should be noted that in this work it has been shown that teachers have not been trained for work in rural areas, environments in which there are particularities and needs that are very different from those of urban areas.
