Abstract

The use of mobile applications in the educational field has experienced significant growth. It is crucial to understand teachers' perceptions regarding the use of these resources for improving literacy, as they play a crucial role in their implementation in the classroom. This qualitative exploratory study was conducted in the province of Granada with teachers from different educational institutions. A semi-structured interview was used to collect information, utilizing Atlas Ti for data analysis. The results revealed that teachers have diverse opinions regarding digital training, the benefits, difficulties, and criteria for selecting mobile applications. Benefits highlighted by teachers included student motivation and engagement, while difficulties were associated with digital training, limited access to technological resources, and the selection of appropriate applications. Regarding methodological strategies, emphasis was placed on the importance of consistent use of applications, establishing clear guidelines, and leveraging their interactive potential. In conclusion, this study contributes to understanding teachers' perspectives on the use of mobile applications to enhance literacy, providing valuable information for their effective implementation in the educational setting.
