Summary/Abstract: Starting from the question asked in the title of the study (Is the use of the Technique of Information and Communication an opportunity or a threat for the vocational teaching process?), the author performs a SCOT analysis identifying the strong points of the usage of TICs, the development needs, the opportunities and the risk factors. From the data filled out in the SCOT matrix results that the assets of TICs, respectively the opportunities of their usage are the facilitation and the effectiveness of the vocational teaching process, provided the responsible selection of the contents and their rational usage. The author also highlights the psycho-pedagogical valences of the media teaching, the importance of the ethic and aesthetic in the use of the computer. The features that can be improved and the threats aimed at the risks of hiding the human-teacher behind the technique, of altering the sense of the contents, of diminishing the emotion, virtual refuge, manipulation. The author pleads in favour of the teacher-human, who resorts to the media techniques in the purpose of humanizing the knowledge and, implicitly, to achieve an efficient aesthetic and artistic education.
