Although the past years have seen an increased attention towards the use of information and communication technologies in education, teachers struggle to adapt their pedagogical practices to the newly established scenario. Based on the results of the ICT in Education Survey 2012, this paper aims to examine factors involved in supporting ICT adoption by Brazilian schoolteachers. Formal ICT training was not found to influence teachers’ uptake of ICT in the classroom. The results suggest that the lack of public policies aiming at continuing, network- based training represents a major barrier to the integration of ICT in pedagogical activities in Brazilian schools.
