Perception of Digital Skills and The Right to Education During Covid-19 in Undergraduate Students from A Private University

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze from the perception of university teachers, the digital competences of undergraduate students in the mediated use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their right to education during the covid-19 pandemic. The methodology was qualitative in approach, with bibliographic analysis and hermeneutic phenomenological design. The key informants were seven (07) university teachers with master's and doctoral degrees. A semi-structured interview guide was used as a data collection tool, and for the processing and analysis of the information it was done through the application of the Atlas ti software. As main result, the adaptive process of students in the use of technologies in their transition from face-to-face to virtuality was noticed, as well as the need to require digital competences to face their learning process. Finally, it was reflected on certain conditions that affect their right to education due to a marked digital gap existing due to the lack of internet connection, economic situation to acquire a technological device, lack of electricity, among others.
