Abstract
La sociedad del conocimiento ha generado cambios tecnológicos, económicos, educativos, sociales, políticos y culturales. Dichos cambios exigen desarrollar nuevas habilidades y conocimientos, como la competencia digital. Ser digitalmente competente trae muchas oportunidades, de lo contrario nos enfrenta a serios problemas como la brecha digital y cognitiva.
En el ámbito educativo también es importante saber usar las tecnologías con fines pedagógicos, ya que los estudios demuestran que son un complemento importante en la formación y desarrollo de los futuros docentes y estudiantes. Por ello, el presente estudio responde a la interrogante ¿Cuál es el nivel de Competencia Digital en los estudiantes de la carrera de Educación de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana? lo que permitirá ofrecer evidencias sobre los niveles de la Competencia Digital en los estudiantes de la carrera de Educación, facilitando identificar qué factores son una fortaleza o la posibilidad de mejora en la educación de los futuros profesores.
La investigación tiene un diseño metodológico cuantitativo y descriptivo. La información se recogió mediante un cuestionario previamente validado y sometido a pruebas de confiabilidad interna compuesto por 56 ítems distribuidos en cinco factores (Alfabetización tecnológica, Acceso y uso de la información, Comunicación y colaboración, Ciudadanía digital y Creatividad e Innovación).
Entre los resultados obtenidos, se destaca que los estudiantes valoran positivamente que los profesores integren el uso de las TIC en su campo de estudio. En relación a la Ciudadanía Digital, la mayoría consideró importante promover el uso seguro, legal y responsable de la información, pero mostraron menor interés en comprender la etiqueta digital para desarrollar interacciones sociales responsables. El factor que los estudiantes valoran más es la Creatividad e Innovación y en segundo lugar la Ciudadanía Digital.
The knowledge society has generated technological, economic, educational, social, political and cultural changes. These changes require developing new skills and knowledge, such as digital competence. Being digitally competent brings many opportunities, otherwise we face serious problems such as the digital and cognitive gap. In the educational field, it is also important to know how to use technologies for pedagogical purposes, since studies show that they are an important complement in the training and development of future teachers and students. Therefore, this study answers the question: What is the level of Digital Competence in the students of the Education career of a private university in Metropolitan Lima? This will make it possible to offer evidence on the levels of Digital Competence in the students of the Education career, facilitating the identification of which factors are a strength or the possibility of improvement in the education of future teachers. The research has a quantitative and descriptive methodological design. The information was collected through a questionnaire previously validated and subjected to internal reliability tests composed of 56 items distributed in five factors (Technological literacy, Access and use of information, Communication and collaboration, Digital citizenship and Creativity and Innovation). Among the results obtained, it is highlighted that students positively value that teachers integrate the use of ICT in their field of study. In relation to Digital Citizenship, the majority considered it important to promote the safe, legal and responsible use of information, but they showed less interest in understanding the digital label to develop responsible social interactions. The factor that students value the most is Creativity and Innovation and secondly Digital Citizenship.
