Los youtubers y su aporte a la educación

Abstract

Abstract: YouTube is one of the digital platforms widely used by young people between the ages of 17 and 25 years old. In this regard, this research has the purpose of creating a map of Ecuadorian youtubers and from it, establish a ranking depending on the number of visits and views, and finally, identify which of these belong to the education category. In order to achieve this goal, it is proposed to apply mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative data, through the use of observation techniques, content analysis, polls and obtained information from the digital tool Social Blade . Thanks to the used tool, four youtubers were identified inside the education category, however, after the analysis it is established that not all of them contribute to this category since their content is based on travel and personal experiences, focusing them on the entertainment group. On the other hand, some of these youtubers do not keep their content constantly updated, and they also do not have a great impact on Youtube s users. This was determined by the analysis of subscribers, views and published videos.
