Abstract

In a society characterized by the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the different areas in which human beings operate, higher education represents a space where young people can acquire knowledge, develop skills and clarify the values that will be the basis for their professional performance. This paper shows the results of a research carried out to explain the digital competences from the experiences of students of Tourism Management and Computational Systems of the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas in Mexico, and the characteristics that identify when they use ICT. From sociocultural paradigm, as an epistemological conception where cultural tools and context are determinants in the educational process, we use Grounded Theory based on a qualitative approach, with the support of virtual journal techniques and focused interviews. The findings allow to reflect on students’ strengths in the instrumental use of technologies mainly for communication and collaboration, although their weaknesses in cognitive, ethical and creative competencies
