“…The value of blogs as instruments of learning has been noted in various studies which have also demonstrated their contribution to the development of digital skills (Pinya, Tur, & Roselló, 2016). Most research on blogs has focused on their use, uptake and impact on learning in university students (Avci & Askar, 2012;Cakir, 2013;Sullivan & Longnecker, 2014;Garcia, Moizer, Wilkins, & Haddoud, 2019). There is also literature about the potential and challenges of collaborative projects linked to blogs (Cho, Lim, & Lee, 2017) and about their importance in establishing and maintaining collaborative learning networks and encouraging reflection (Khan, 2017).…”

En esta investigación se analizan aquellos factores que inciden en la posibilidad de uso de los blogs como herramienta para continuar aprendiendo por parte de quienes van a ser futuros docentes en el ámbito de educación infantil. En el estudio participaron un total de 222 estudiantes (pertenecientes a 3 cohortes distribuidas en 13 grupos de aula) que cursaron una asignatura de formación básica perteneciente al grado de maestro de educación infantil en una universidad española. El alumnado, tras su experiencia a lo largo del curso en el uso de blogs, respondió a un cuestionario electrónico auto-administrado y previamente validado. Se elaboró un modelo sustentado por diversos constructos que dieron lugar a hipótesis relevantes derivadas primordialmente de la teoría socio-cognitiva y del modelo de aceptación tecnológica. Se utilizó la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS) para el contraste de las doce hipótesis planteadas, de las cuales se aceptaron diez. Los resultados indican que la auto-eficacia percibida, las expectativas de resultados personales, el apoyo percibido para mejorar los vínculos sociales, así como la percepción de utilidad, la facilidad de uso percibida, la actitud y la percepción de alegría y disfrute, son variables significativas que contribuyen a que los estudiantes continúen utilizando los blogs como mecanismo para aprender. Asimismo, se discuten y comparan los resultados obtenidos con otras investigaciones internacionales similares, lo que ha permitido replicar y confirmar la capacidad predictiva del modelo. Finalmente, se aportan recomendaciones útiles, derivadas de los hallazgos obtenidos, para aquellos docentes que pretendan utilizar blogs con sus estudiantes universitarios, a fin de que estos continúen utilizando dichas herramientas para desarrollar sus aprendizajes.

Internet services for education are technological facilities as basic needs to obtain information quickly and accurately, but not all literacy abilities of students are the same, so more identification is needed to reveal the impact of internet services for students. The purpose of this article is to explain the influence of internet services on the cognitive abilities of middle school students related to information literacy competencies. The method used is a quantitative method with data from secondary school students totaling 64 students analyzed using discriminant analysis, which reveals the causality of the variable internet service with information literacy competencies. The results show a significant influence of internet usage on certain variables on the cognitive abilities of middle school students, especially on information literacy abilities. The implication of this study is the disclosure of supporting variables from internet services in the world of education that support the 21st-century learning pattern characterized by promoting flexibility and efficiency.
