Study carried out in the first and second year of basic education of the Educational Unit "Humberto Fierro" school year 2019-2020, had the general objective: to diagnose the level of media competence in boys and girls from 5 to 8 years old. The research was mixed, since it required the quantitative analysis of the data collected through the application of a survey to 30 children. Finally, it is concluded that the dimensions of language, technology, production and diffusion, ideology and values show a high level of development. The interaction dimension shows a medium level of development and the aesthetic dimension has a low level of development. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers carry out activities where better interaction between students can be fostered to enhance these dimensions.
