La brecha digital y su impacto en la equidad del aprendizaje mediado por TIC en estudiantes de 10 mo grado

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the digital divide and it s effects on equity in ICT- mediated learning among students of the Aristos Educational Unit in Chone. It s based on the premise that students learning opportunities are affected by disparities in access to technological devices, connectivity, and digital competencies. A quantitative approach with descriptive design was employed, using a census- type sample that included both students and teachers. Data were collected through structured instruments aimed at identifying levels of access, use of ITC, and perceptions of equity in education. The results show differences in the availability of technological resources and the predominance of digital skills, which restrict students access to and participation in ICT- mediated educational activities. It was concluded that the digital divide is a determining factor in education equity; therefore, institutional strategies focused on digital inclusion should be strengthened.
