Abstract

This study will address the assessment of digital skills in first-year university students in the January-June semester of 2025. The need for research stems from the lack of tools aimed at higher education in relation to the mastery of information and communication technologies as a fundamental tool for current academic performance. A quantitative approach and a non-experimental cross-sectional design were selected with a sample of 24 first-year students. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire with 46 items, validated by experts and based on international scales that addressed five main dimensions: information literacy, digital communication and collaboration, digital content creation, online presentation, security, and technical problem solving. The results obtained revealed important aspects of the digital competency profile with which university students enter their academic journey. The sample was predominantly female, with an age concentration in the 21-23 range, specifically, which corresponds to the particular demographic characteristics of this cohort. Using SPSS version 28.0 for statistical analysis, this research identifies strengths and critical areas in the different dimensions evaluated. In addition, empirical evidence is developed on the digital skills of the current cohort of post-secondary students in transition, contributing to the established knowledge in the area.
