Alfabetización tecnológica, acceso y uso de internet en estudiantes universitarios de Inglés.

1. Alfabetización tecnológica, acceso y uso de internet de estudiantes
universitarios de inglés

2. Introduction
From years ago, education-related organizations have established policies
seeking to incorporate technologies (OECD, 1994, UNESCO, 1998, SEP,
2006) to education systems. However, little has been investigated concerning
the performance of these policies on learning. Under this theme, it is
convenient to analyze the situation of students about this and reflect on the
impact of ICT on learning.

3. • What´s the author´s main argument?
 This paper details a descriptive study that sought to determine the
technological literacy, access and use of internet and its relationship with
socioeconomic factors in 200 English students in introductory level from
UQRoo, campus Chetumal.
 The results indicated that participants had a basic level of literacy and the
greater the skill required, the lower the degree of competition..
• What evidence does the author put forward to support the argument
and conclusion?
 He analyzed researches on technological literacy and categorized them
according to the variable to which they were related.
 The theoretical analysis was started from the perspective of Van Dijk
(2005).
 In this work it was determined that the level of technological literacy
decreased with higher degree of skill required. This assertion is
supported with previous researches which he cites in his work.

4. What is your view of this evidence?
 I think this research is supported by the evidence showed in previous
researches and substantiated by the theory of Van Dijk. This investigation
seemed well structured from introduction to final conclusions that are
supported by the findings in the investigation and the literature review.
Can you spot any weaknesses in the methodology, the findings and the
way the conclusions are drawn?
In my particular point of view, one of the shortcomings of the study is that it is
only limited to determine the link between the variables and the
socioeconomic characteristics of the students. However, I think the factors
that influence the level of technological literacy of students are located on
more important elements as:
 The availability of a computer
 The schooling
 The interest of students for academic purposes.

5. Has the author made any implicit assumptions about shared
beliefs which you, the reader, you might question?
 This research did not submit any personal opinion or belief by the
author. The researcher supported his views with accurate
information related to the subject (Literature review and theories),
which are available in the reference section of the research. In my
point of view, the author made good use of information to support
his opinion there is why problems could not be found.
