The academic literature suggests that most of the teacher educator shave not had the opportunity to habilitate themselves to the incorporation of ICT in the educational context. In order to incorporate the information and communication technologies — ICT —in a pedagogical way that results in real modification in the teaching/learning process, it is necessary to rethink the practices of teacher trainers in the preparation of future teachers. Thus, this article discusses how teacher trainers employ ICT in their academic affairs. In order to understand them and know them better, we did a literature search on the profile of the teacher trainer. There is also a survey about proposals and projects of standards of competence in ICT in teacher education programs. If there are proposals and/or policies for validation, adoption and application of standards of competence in ICT in initial teacher training programs, this implies the need for an approximation with the trainers (teachers of future teachers) to ensure that the standards of competence are gradually included in these programs. It also presents a qualitative survey, whose data were obtained through a questionnaire among the trainers of teachers from licentiateships and bachelor courses in physics and chemistry at the Federal University of Rondônia. The objective of this research was to identify which are the forms of access and ways of using IC' in the process of preparing instructional materials for pedagogical support. The research reveals that the professors of the Federal University of Rondônia have high academic qualifications, have personal computers which they carry to work and, especially, that they use diverse modalities of computer programs to develop their educational courseware
