Abstract

Abstract:At present, one of the main means of information for children is ICT, but it is important to know the level of training they have regarding these digital tools; that is why the theme has been developed: "Media competences in children from Initial 2 to Fourth Grade of EGB in the Educational Unit" Oriente Ecuatoriano "of the city of Azogues, province of Cañar, academic year 2018-2019"; The objective was to diagnose the level of media skills in children. The research is qualitative-quantitative. The methods were used: descriptive, inductive-deductive, hermeneutic, analytical-synthetic and bibliographical and field research techniques. We worked with a sample of 182 students to whom a survey was applied. It is concluded that the level of media competences in the dimension of ideology-values, reception and interaction, aesthetics-technology is low; in language and technology they have a high level. It is recommended that teachers use ICT as tools for the critical search of information by students, critical analysis and interpretation of the various contents.
