Lugares y espacios para el uso educativo y ubicuo de los dispositivos digitales móviles en la Educación Superior

Abstract

RESUMENEn este estudio analizamos en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles e hispanoamericanos los lugares y espacios en los que los estudiantes hacen un uso educativo de los dispositivos digitales móviles. La metodología de investigación es de corte cuantitativo y se desarrolla a través del análisis factorial. Los resultados muestran que el uso educativo de los dispositivos digitales móviles se concentra dentro del recinto universitario; principalmente en la cafetería y pasillos de la facultad, en las aulas y en la biblioteca. En menor medida, también se utilizan fuera del recinto universitario en los medios de transporte, las zonas de ocio al aire libre, el domicilio habitual, el lugar de trabajo y la calle.

ABSTRACT In this study, we analyze the places and spaces in which a sample of Spanish and LatinAmerican university students make an educative use of mobile digital devices. The research methodology is quantitative and is developed through factor analysis. The results show that the educational use of mobile digital devices is concentrated within the university campus; mainly in the cafeteria and corridors of the faculty, in the classrooms and in the library. To a lesser extent, they are also used outside the university campus in the transport, the outdoor leisure areas, the habitual residence, the workplace and the street.

Prediction of User’s Intention to Use Metaverse System in Medical Education: A Hybrid SEM-ML Learning Approach

“…However, the MS is far from science fiction. According to Díaz et al [4], Arcila [5], Márquez [6], and Vázquez-Cano and Sevillano-García [18] defines metaverse as an immersibe 3D and virtual space that enables interaction among users, irrespective of place or time. It is a unique tool in the educational setting because of its key features of persistence, interactivity, and corporeity [19].…”

Evaluation of Applications for Mobile Devices on the Practice of Physical Exercise in Adolescents

“…Hence, the way of understanding education changes fundamentally in terms of access to information and collaborative learning, as well as connecting formal, non-formal and informal spaces [17,18]. Therefore, we face constant coexistence with the use of technologies driven by two basic principles that are part of learning in the 21st century society: ubiquity (U-Learning) and mobility (M-Learning) [19]. Learning is no longer limited to the classroom; it is distributed among multiple spaces that make knowledge instantly available [20].…”

“…Learning is no longer limited to the classroom; it is distributed among multiple spaces that make knowledge instantly available [20]. Ubiquitous technology enables global, instantaneous and interconnected learning that creates interaction between people [19]. In this type of learning, the use of mobile devices plays a very important role [21].…”

“…These technologies are governed by two basic principles: ubiquity (U-Learning) and mobility (M-Learning). These principles considered part of the learning process of the 21st century society [4]. Johnson Adams and Cummins [5] stated that people want to work, study, and learn anytime, anywhere.…”

“…Social networks and the use of apps have also irremediably modified the teaching and learning processes in both formal and informal contexts. Technological and digital development has undoubtedly become a medium that influences the construction and interpretation of the reality around us [4]. The term "app" is used as an abbreviation of the Anglo-Saxon term "application" and extends to computer applications for mobile devices and tablets.…”
