L’estudiant en l’educació superior: Usos acadèmics i socials de la tecnologia digital

Eliana Esther Gallardo Echenique, Luis Marqués Molías, Mark Bullen

Resum


Aquest article presenta els resultats d’una entrevista en profunditat feta a vint estudiants d’educació d’una universitat presencial pública de Catalunya sobre com utilitzen les tecnologies digitals en l’aspecte social i acadèmic. Aquesta recerca demostra que, si bé els estudiants tenen un cert nivell d’habilitats en tecnologies digitals, la manera com les utilitzen varia en funció del propòsit que ells els donen o segons una tasca determinada. Els resultats exposats evidencien que les xarxes socials i el WhatsApp són les aplicacions més importants per als estudiants, perquè els permeten posar-se en contacte amb altres, comunicar-se malgrat les distàncies i estar en contacte amb persones amb interessos comuns.


Paraules clau


estudiant digital, educació superior, tecnologia digital, TIC
