Resumen

En este estudio, se realizó un análisis general y comparativo sobre cómo los estudiantes universitarios usan dispositivos digitales móviles con fines educativos en diversos lugares y espacios dentro y fuera de los establecimientos universitarios en España y América Latina. Se analiza una muestra total de 886 estudiantes (442 españoles y 444 latinoamericanos) correspondientes a cinco universidades españolas y cinco latinoamericanas. La metodología de investigación se basó en el análisis factorial y la comparación entre grupos con pruebas paramétricas y no paramétricas. Los resultados muestran que el uso educativo de dispositivos digitales móviles en el mundo hispano consiste en su mayor parte en el uso de teléfonos inteligentes y tabletas dentro de las instalaciones universitarias, principalmente en cafeterías, pasillos, aulas y bibliotecas universitarias. Los estudiantes españoles y latinoamericanos usaron tabletas dentro y fuera de las instalaciones universitarias para almacenar y recuperar información, y teléfonos inteligentes para compartir información y contenido educativo.
