Publicación An evaluation of university students' latent and self-perceived digital competence in the use of mobile devices(Wiley, 2020) Sevillano García, Luisa; Leví Orta, Genoveva del Carmen; Vázquez Cano, EstebanThis article presents an experimental study of the assessment made by university students of their level of digital competence in the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets. The study was part of an investigation into ubiquitous learning with mobile devices and is based on the analysis of responses from a sample of 203 university students at eleven European and Latin American universities. Participants were asked questions about their performance on a set of digital activities that tested various components of digital competence. The analysis methodology was based on Item Response Theory (IRT). The survey data was analysed by applying a statistical model to represent the probability of obtaining an affirmative answer to each activity proposed. This enabled us to identify the difficulty and discrimination parameters of each activity. As an outcome of the study, measures on latent digital competence in individual participants were articulated. The results allowed us to describe how a number of devices and activities interacted. Understanding these types of interactions is necessary for a continued development of the evaluation of digital competence in students.Publicación Teaching the Use of Gamification in Elementary School: A Case in Spanish Formal Education(Springer, 2023-06-02) Sáez López, José Manuel; Grimaldo Santamaría, Rolando Óscar; Quicios García, Mª Del Pilar; Vázquez Cano, EstebanGamification is an educational methodology and tool that offers benefits through mechanics and dynamics. It brings motivating experiences and benefits to the instructional design approach. Several studies highlight that this methodology fosters contributions in commitment, fun, enthusiasm, motivation, satisfaction, and interaction in pedagogical contexts. The sample of 308 teachers was obtained after the mass delivery of the instrument to educational centers in Spain. The sample is nonprobabilistic, and the study participants voluntarily answered the survey. Of the participants, 69.8% were women and 30.2% were men; this proportion is representative of the population of teachers. A descriptive analysis is based on three dimensions: most used programs, devices used, and didactic functionality. These data are triangulated with an analysis through the HJ-Biplot method, which is presented as a multivariate graphical representation of the data from an Xnxp matrix. This analysis details findings on the determining role played by the teacher and the relationship between years of experience, age, devices used, and resources used, detected with descriptive and bivariate analyses. Among the conclusions are that the subjects positively value training in digital teaching competence in terms of gamification, although in real daily practice only 30% of teachers claim to use gamified tools. Gamification provides collaborative and innovative benefits in relation to its didactic functionality.Publicación Análisis de factores de sostenibilidad digital en la adopción de app educativas en Educación Primaria(Edutec. Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Tecnología Educativa, 2023-03) Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Quero Gervilla, María Mercedes; Díez Arcón, Mª Paz; Pascual Moscoso, Carolina; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4095-7881; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1850-4170This article presents a study to measure the importance for teachers of the digital sustainability factors that facilitate or inhibit adoption of learning apps as a support to the teaching-learning process in primary education. A structural equations model methodology was used to conduct the importance-performance analysis (IPA). IPA aims to identify the value alloted by users in terms of the importance and performance of a series of quality criteria to obtain an indirect measure of the elements of digital sustainability that encourage or discourage the adoption of educational apps. The sample was formed by 212 teachers with experience using apps in teaching-learning process. The results indicated four areas of digital sustainability to be improved in order to guarantee good educational and sustainable use of apps inside and outside the classroom: safe and transparent use of data and algorithms, the apps compliance with the functional diversity of all students, the promotion of safe collaborative environments and the need for awareness regarding energy efficiency.Publicación Influence of Age, Gender and Years of Experience on Teachers in Promoting Strategies for Digital Sustainability and Data Protection(Springer Nature, 2023-07-15) Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Sáez López, José Manuel; Grimaldo Santamaría, Rolando Óscar; Quicios García, Mª Del PilarThe aim of this research was to know how widespread the activities were, and to what extent they were being implemented, in relation to data protection and digital sustainability in Primary Education schools. This study also analyzed whether teachers’ age, gender and years of experience in the profession influenced the development of this type of practices among students. To this end, the GAUBIPRO (4150516/6) questionnaire, registered at the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, was sent out to 308 Spanish teachers in Primary Education in Spain. The investigation was conducted by applying three multivariate statistical procedures: chi-squared with Kendall’s Tau-c coefficient, variance analysis using a single-factor ANOVA, and the HJ-Plot method, to find patterns of group behavior among the variables studied. The results showed that age, gender and years of experience were significant variables in the development of strategies for data protection and digital sustainability in Primary Education. For years of experience, the results showed that teachers with the highest mean number of years in the teaching profession were the least likely to apply data protection protocols. Male teachers were found to promote more general data protection strategies, while female teachers were more active in the design and use of activities in the classroom. In terms of age, the results clearly demonstrated that the higher the mean age of the teachers, the lower the rate of application of actions to promote data protection and digital security among young students, in three variables in particular: “foster strategies”, “advise students” and “inform families”.Publicación Latent factors on the design and adoption of gamified apps in primary education(Springer, 2023-04-25) Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Fombona, Javier; Rodríguez Arce, Jorge; Quicios García, Mª Del PilarThe main objective of this research is to determine the perception of teachers about the elements that increases the educational effectiveness of gamified apps in primary education. A methodology based on an importance-performance analysis was daeveloped, using a structural equations model to calcuate the degree of importance of each variable. The sample was formed of 212 Spanish teachers with experience using educational apps in the teaching–learning process. Six categories were identified as precursors of educational effectiveness: (1) curriculum connection, (2) feedback and operational experience, (3) assessment and learning analytics, (4) sustainability (Protection Personal data), (5) equal access and (6) flow. These six categories enhance the three traditional areas of gamification intervention: cognitive, emotional and social. In this sense, the design and adoption of an educational gamified app should: (1) establish a clear link between the game and curricular content and competence development; (2) promote self-regulated learning through individual and collaborative activities; (3) offer adapted learning by integrating differentiated personalized learning pathways; (4) integrate learning analytics that can be consulted by teacher, student and family; (5) comply with data protection regulation and promote a safe, sustainable and ethical use of the information generated; (6) take into account different levels of functional diversity. When the gamified app design incorporates these attributes, primary education teachers perceive that such resources can be integrated effectively into the teaching–learning processes.
