Abstract

The  evolution  and  rapid changes of the  information  and  communication technologies demands from higher education institutions, teachers and students to adapt themselves to these changes. The objective of this paper is to  identify the  main  factors  involved  in  the  integration  of  information  and  communication technologies on the teaching process of medicine in Angola. This is a descriptive study,  predominantly  qualitative,  of the  main  difficulties  for  the  integration  of
information and  communication  technologies  on  the  educational  teaching process  in  basic  medical  education  in  Angola.  The  study  included  all  higher education  institutions  that  offer  courses  in  basic  medicine  in  Angola.  It  was
carried  out through  interviews to the  deans,  heads of departments,  professors and students from these institutions. The paper presents the main difficulties as a  result  of  the  diagnosis applied  to nine  higher  education  institutions  that
offereed medicine  courses in  Angola  in  the  academic  year  2017.  The  main problems identified  by  the  studied  groups  were  the  lack  of  technological resources, lack of strategies in the institutions for the integration of ICT, lack of qualified  technicians   that could help  teachers  and  students to face these difficulties  and  the  lack  of  teachers  training  for  the  pedagogical  use  of  these technologies.
