Abstract

The research related to media skills in boys and girls in high school and first grade of General Basic Education of the Educational Unit "Manuel González" of the Pasaje canton in the school period 2018 - 2019, aims to diagnose the level of media skills in boys and girls of high school and first grade of Basic General Education of the Educational Unit "Manuel González". This work was developed in the province of El Oro, Canton Passage, where a questionnaire was applied to 161 students, through the mixed method. After the analysis of the results obtained, it was concluded that 106 high school students can manipulate the technological equipment without differentiating if the technological equipment to be used is for a certain genre. However, its use is low for academic purposes, which is why it is considered important that teachers use the hour of integral human development to raise awareness of the appropriate use of information and communication technologies and develop methodological strategies so that students can properly use the different technological equipment.
