Abstract
espanolEl objetivo de este documento es analizar la idea que tienen los profesores mexicanos de alumnos de nivel elemental a nivel intermedio sobre la ciudadania digital, tomando las siguientes variables independientes: genero, edad, region y nivel educativo impartido. La hipotesis es que tales variables afectan a lo que los profesores creen que es la ciudadania digital. Esta investigacion se ha llevado a cabo con un grupo de 220 maestros de educacion primaria e intermedia en un Estado ubicado en el noreste de Mexico. Los hallazgos muestran que los maestros varones estan mas inclinados a usar indicadores relacionados con la mejora del rendimiento academico, y menos interesados en los indicadores relacionados con la armonia en el entorno de grupo / escuela. Ademas, los maestros jovenes tienden a trabajar con ideas que estan mas centradas en el estudiante y menos dirigidas por el maestro, en contraste con sus companeros mayores, que prefieren ideas mas centradas en el maestro sobre las centradas en el estudiante. Finalmente, los maestros de educacion primaria buscan enfocar sus ideas en los padres y la comunidad en lugar de en los estudiantes, mientras que aquellos que ensenan a nivel intermedio enfocan sus ideas mas en los estudiantes y menos hacia sus padres y la comunidad. Si las escuelas planean centrarse en el desarrollo de competencias para la ciudadania digital, es importante considerar como parte de la estrategia educativa el perfil del profesor en terminos de genero, edad y nivel educativo en el que ensenan, puesto qeu influye en sus ideas.
