Uso de TIC por estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Jorge Álvarez

Abstract

Abstract: This study was developed with the objective of determining the level of digital competencies of students between 14 and 18 years old, who are enrolled in high school in Science and Technology at the Jorge Alvarez Educational Unit of the Santiago de Píllaro canton in the 2021-2022 school year. As part of this study, we also analyzed the media skills and the use of ICT in the development of academic and personal activities of students, for this a digital survey was applied to 399 students, who responded to the questions posed in the Alfamed questionnaire and specific questions about the use of ICT tools. The analysis of the results was carried out with the IBM SPSSstatistical program and it was determined that although 76.7% of the students consider that they have had training in audiovisual and digital communication, the results on the specific use of tools, identification of information and participation through the use of ICT show that the self-perception of the respondents on their digital competences is higher than the real one.
