Abstract

This study identifies the knowledge and use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) among university students according to their fields of study and gender. The questionnaire was given to 757 students as a nonprobabilistic sample. The results show that no differences exist between the sexes regarding the knowledge or use of ICT, nor do they differ on account of age or the means of access to university education. The study evidences the need for a real integration of ICT into the teaching practice at universities.

Key words: information and communications technologies, fields of study, gender, university, digital skills
