El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a una mejor y más profunda comprensión del fenómeno de la integración tecnológica en las escuelas actuales. Para ello, se emplean los métodos de la autoetnografía y el análisis crítico del discurso, dentro de un estudio de caso centrado en la experiencia como profesor de Ciencias Sociales en Secundaria de uno de los autores. El sistema de categorías construido permite confirmar empíricamente el carácter apologético de los discursos educativos externos al aula, pero también identificar un conjunto de retos, incongruencias y dificultades desapercibidas hasta el momento en la literatura científica.

The educational parameters of neoliberal schools have transformed traditional social expectations about teachers. As some authors have suggested, “teacher uneasiness” is an appropriate category of analysis to understand and interpret the effects that such expectations can have on teachers’ professional identity. In this research, autoethnography was specifically chosen as an investigative and, at the same time, formative modality, ideal for determining the way in which a Social Sciences teacher in Spanish secondary education experiences his own uneasiness. According to the information in the teacher/researcher’s diary, collected during fieldwork carried out over two years, and processed by content analysis, this phenomenon can be generated by causes that are still unnoticed in the existing literature. Specifically, we could identify up to four subcategories from the data itself: the weight of tradition; daily overexertion; no time; and resignation after wear and tear. We conclude with vindications both of the theoretical category used, and of the usefulness of autoethnography in this type of empirical project. In any case, we also recommend new research that allows us to compare and expand the results and conclusions obtained herein.
