Resumen

Objetivo: analizar la asociación entre la formación tecnológica y el dominio tecnológico-académico en 300 registros de estudiantes de Comunicación Social, integrando la discusión contemporánea sobre competencias digitales en educación superior.Método: se estructuró un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y correlacional. El instrumento contiene 12 ítems Likert de cinco puntos, distribuidos en dos bloques de seis indicadores. Se calcularon medias, desviaciones estándar, consistencia interna mediante alfa de Cronbach y correlación de Pearson bilateral, con α=0,05.Resultados: la formación tecnológica alcanzó M=3,538 (DE=0,715) y el dominio tecnológico-académico M=3,392 (DE=0,717). La consistencia interna global fue α=0,877 y la correlación fue positiva y moderada (r=0,524; p<0,001).Conclusiones: una mayor formación tecnológica se relacionó con un mayor dominio tecnológico-académico. La formación del comunicador requiere integrar habilidades instrumentales, búsqueda y evaluación de información, producción multimedia, seguridad, ética y uso crítico de tecnologías emergentes.
