University students’ selfperception on the use of digital technologies for learning

In this article, we analyzed the students' selfperception regarding the use of technological tools for learning and study habits, as part of their academic training. From the pedagogical point of view, the self-perception of the students is the way in which they perceive themselves within the educational process. To do this, we analyzed the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, uses of digital technologies for support learning, how they complement their studies and the perception they have about technologies. The information was collected through a questionnaire validated and applied to the student population of a Mexican university, through a stratified sample. Once the analysis of the data was carried out, we found that students' motivation significantly influences the way in which they use ICT and that the students' selfperception depends on the learning objective, either for an academic purpose or for informal learning. In addition, we found that the student seeks socialization either face-to-face or virtual to carry out the teaching-learning process.
