STUDENT PERCEPTION OF THE VALUE OF ICT'S IN THEIR LEARNING STRATEGIES AND THEIR RELATION TO PERFORMANCE

Currently, educational research is focused on searching for evidence to show the usefulness of ICT'S (Information and Communication Technologies) for improved academic performance at university. So, our research aims to discover the potential of ICT's as a tool to develop learning strategies for improving the performance of academic tasks. For this, we studied the variable Assessment of ICT's for the development of learning strategies. We delved into the analysis of this variable, considering the results of the factor analysis, which allow us to distinguish two types of strategies (thinking and procedural). The design includes the analysis of differences in ICT assessments among students with different levels of academic achievement. A new feature was the incorporation of the graphical representation of these differences using COR curves and analysis of the similarity between the AUC values and the non-parametric statistics U and W. The conclusions highlight that dependent variables show higher values in the group of students of higher performance, although all students make a positive assessment of technologies as tools which facilitate finding resources and fulfillment of academic tasks.
