Resumen

El uso continuo de los sistemas de videoconferencia para llevar a cabo el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las instituciones de educación superior, durante la pandemia derivada de la Covid-19, ha influido negativamente en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios, provocando fatiga digital. Esta fatiga afecta principalmente a la vista, estado emocional, motivacional y social. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el grado de fatiga digital derivada de la exposición prolongada a sistemas de videoconferencia de los estudiantes universitarios. Para ello, se aplicó un diseño de estudio transversal a partir de la distribución de una encuesta en línea. En el estudio participaron un total de 613 estudiantes universitarios, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 35 años (M = 21,54; DT = 3,85). Los resultados obtenidos revelaron que: 1) el grado de prevalencia de la fatiga digital en los estudiantes universitarios fue medio-alto; 2) las variables sociodemográficas vinculadas a ser mujer, cursar estudios de la rama de Artes y Humanidades, pasar más tiempo frente a un dispositivo electrónico y conectarse a través de un ordenador portátil fueron indicadores de una mayor tasa de fatiga digital; 3) el sexo y el consumo elevado de horas fueron variables predictores de la fatiga visual, fatiga social, fatiga motivacional y fatiga emocional; 4) la fatiga visual, fatiga motivacional y fatiga emocional, junto a la rama de conocimiento de los estudios cursados, influyeron de forma significativa en la fatiga general. Finalmente, se discuten las futuras líneas de investigación de este trabajo, destacando la riqueza de los datos obtenidos para avanzar en el conocimiento sobre la fatiga digital y su influencia en el aprendizaje universitario.
