Resumen
The aim of this study was to identify any personal factors that may facilitate the initial
transfer of learning among students taking a permanent online ICT training course for teaching
staff. Some deductive categories were created based on previous studies, and with the help of the
NVivo software and its triangulation, a qualitative analysis of the three data sources—two reflective
training activities completed by the subjects and an interview—was used to determine the relevance
of some of the identified personal characteristics in the transfer process occurring within the context
of distance techno-pedagogical training. Among them, we highlight four relevant ideas for transfer
in the context: participants’ motivation to innovate in their classes with the use of technologies; selfefficacy,
characterized as confidence acquired by the subjects to carry out online training; previous
training and professional experiences; and the analysis of their training needs in relation to the critical
and reflective use of ICT. We also confirmed that the favourable reaction of the subjects to these
factors can serve as an indicator of a possible transfer and that online ICT training should continue to
seek to design activities that have positive results in relation to these aspects.
