Abstract:The purpose of this research work was to diagnose the level of media skills in the children of Initial II, Preparatory and Basic Elementary in the School of Basic Primary Education "San José de Paute", province of Azuay, Ecuador in the school year 2018-2019. For this investigative process 174 students from 4 to 8 years participated, which were the basis of the theoretical foundation of the topic to be treated. The research study was carried out by means of the survey technique; a telematic evaluation questionnaire was used as a tool for media competence in children that allowed an analysis of the results obtained in a particular way in the dimensions of: language, technology, interaction processes, production and diffusion processes, aesthetics, ideology and values. It is concluded that the media competence must be developed from an early age to strengthen the formation of a more critical and reflective citizenship in front of the contemporary media. Therefore it is recommended to work simultaneously with family and school to achieve a quality media education and warmth in Ecuadorian children.
