Abstract
CASTELLANOS SANCHEZ, Almudena; SANCHEZ ROMERO, Cristina and CALDERERO HERNANDEZ, José Fernando. New Techno-Pedagogical Models: Digital Competence in University Students. REDIE [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.1-9. ISSN 1607-4041. https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2017.19.1.1148.
This paper offers the results of a quantitative study carried out with the aim of defining the technological skills profile of 301 students entering the BA in elementary education. A 29-question digital survey was used; results reflect a prevalence of female students over 30 years of age, who have access to a computer with an Internet connection, prefer to interact using phones, use e-mail, surf the Internet every day, are able to use technology at a basic level, particularly office suites, and are unfamiliar with the use of modern tools such as blogs and social bookmarking. It is concluded that these students do not display the characteristics expected of digital natives: the production, dissemination and consumption of culture online.
