Abstract

In recent decades, technology has been integrated into schools. In the case of students with specific educational needs (SEN), several studies suggest that information and communication technologies (ICT) can contribute favorably to their educational inclusion. However, this is largely contingent on teachers' use of technological resources. In this line, it is interesting to review the literature about how the teaching attitudes toward the use of technology as an inclusive tool for students with SEN. are to this end, a literature search was conducted in four different databases, which led to the selection and review of 11 studies. The results suggest that teachers' attitudes toward the use of ICT in the field of inclusive education are generally positive. However, there is an outcry about the lack of training to carry out this adaptation properly. In any case, this is not an impediment for ICT to be used as an inclusive resource but implies a digital competence work reinforcement in initial and continuous teacher training.
