Uso problemático de las redes sociales en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

The developments taking place in the academic field with the emergence of Web 2.0 tools and the massive use by students of social networks to communicate with each other is making the educational landscape face some challenges which must be answered. The research presented was mainly intended to analyze the status of the use of social media by college students as well as possible bad habits and problematic uses therefore. An “ad hoc” questionnaire with a total of 23 items was used as a gathering information tool. We conclude that students generally do not have bad habits in the use of social networks, also the results show that their use is not fully integrated into the institutions and students do not use them as a fundamental tool for academic resolution issues.
