Continuous teacher education is a process of constant search for new knowledge, updates, ways, methods and means aimed at improving the teacher to improve teaching practice, adapting to the dynamism of changes that occur in society, acquiring a critical view of reach of their pedagogical practices in the school environment. The research aimed to study the perceptions of teachers of physics of the municipality of Vilhena-RO about their needs for continuing education in digital technologies in education. The methodological procedures used were the bibliographic research and the survey conducted with 13 teachers from eight State Schools located in the Municipality of Vilhena-RO, through the application of a questionnaire via the Survey Monkey data collection and analysis system and for data analysis. Basic statistical analysis: frequency and percentage analysis. To support this research was analyzed the curricular projects of the Physics Degree courses of the higher education institutions in which the research participants graduated, to verify the curricular insertion of the use of digital technology resources (RTD) in the initial formation. The survey results allowed the analysis of teachers' perceptions about the formative needs for RTD use in the classroom, highlighting their limitations of use due to factors such as: lack of training for RTD use, lack of domain to deal with these issues. classroom resources and inadequate infrastructure.
