Gestión del tiempo y uso de las TIC en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

With this research we intend to present the incidence of the sociodemographic variable, age, in the use of the internet and the mobile phone, the students' self-perception about them and the frequency with which their use causes them problems. A descriptive study was carried out on a sample of university students from the Faculty of Education of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. The Questionnaire for the Difficult Use of New Technologies (UPNT) has been used. The results indicate that there are no significant differences for both established age groups, but the large amount of time devoted daily and weekly to the internet and mobile phone. In conclusion, we emphasize the relevance of educating in a correct use of the NT, to prevent problems derived from their overuse, as well as, problems in their social environment. As a consequence of the excessive time spent and the need for frequent use by the sample, it indicates tendencies to addiction in the use of these tools.
