Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the deep digital divide in Mexico and the enormous challenge faced by its education system in continuing to educate the country's students while under confinement. The objective of this article was to examine the determinants of internet access, use and productive uses for school-age children in households of different socioeconomic levels. The Heckman selection model was estimated based on data taken from the Encuesta Nacional sobre Disponibilidad y Uso de Tecnologías de la Información en los Hogares (ENDUTIH or National Survey on the Availability and Use of Information Technologies in the Household) 2018. The results obtained show that the probability of having children internet accessing and usage patterns (homework, courses, and blogs) depends on level of schooling, economic status, digital skills, and place of residence, as well as the presence of electronic devices and infomediaries in the household. These findings suggest the urgent need to redesign current ICT policy with a long-term integrated vision that guarantees access to ICTs and their productive use for students immersed in an ecosystem of educational innovation for the XXI century.

学龄儿童使用互联网的决定因素:2019冠状病毒病大流行期间墨西哥面临的挑战
2019冠状病毒病大流行进一步凸显了墨西哥严重的数字鸿沟,以及其教育系统在禁闭期间继续教育该国学生所面临的巨大挑战。本文的目的是研究不同社会经济水平家庭中学龄儿童互联网接入、使用和生产用途的决定因素。Heckman选择模型是根据2018年全国家庭信息技术可用性和使用调查(Encuesta National Survey on The Availability and Use in The Household)中的数据估计的。所获得的结果表明,孩子上网的可能性和使用模式(家庭作业、课程和博客)取决于学校教育水平、经济地位、数字技能和居住地,以及家庭中电子设备和信息媒介的存在。这些发现表明,迫切需要重新设计当前的信息通信技术政策,并具有长期的综合愿景,以确保沉浸在21世纪教育创新生态系统中的学生能够获得信息通信技术并有效利用信息通信技术。
