El uso de las TIC y su impacto en el rendimiento escolar de los estudiantes de secundaria del Colegio Nacional Andrés Belloen el contexto delaCovid-19

Abstract

Abstract: The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2virus, better known as Covid-19, provoked a sudden and abrupt change in education, where Information and Communication Technologies have been key to give continuity to the teaching-learning process. We sought to determine the relationship between the use of ICT and the academic performance of the students of the Colegio Nacional Andrés Bello in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in order to establish mechanisms to improve virtual learning. This research had a quantitative, non-experimental and correlational approach with descriptive scope; the sample size was 156 students, randomly and proportionally selected. The information was obtained through the application of a survey. The results indicate that there is a low level of ICT use for academic activitiesand a high level for social networks; the Pearson coefficient showed an index of 0.185. Consequently, there is no positive impact of ICT on academic performance. For future research, it is recommended to work with an experimental and a control group.
