Resumen

This paper conducts a descriptive quantitative research on the impact of digital migration derived from the COVID-19 pandemic on the frequency of use of ICT resources in the teaching activity of university professors in Peru. The main objective is to identify differences in the aforementioned impact according to the area of knowledge of the professors. A questionnaire designed by the authors was used to measure the frequency of ICT use before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses were statistically analyzed. As a result, it was found that the pandemic has led to a significant increase in the use of ICT in all dimensions of teaching activity, especially in those in which they were less commonly used. Moreover, this increase was greater among professors in humanistic-social areas than among those in scientific-technical areas.
