Abstract
Los alumnos universitarios admiten que una de las herramientas que mas utilizan en su vida diaria es la Wikipedia, una enciclopedia en linea que da libertad para que cualquier persona pueda editar su contenido. Consideran que esta es fiable y util para sus consultas, pero sobre todo destacan que contiene datos actuales. A pesar de estos aspectos positivos, se considera que menos del 1% de los alumnos edita frecuentemente en ella para mejorar sus contenidos. Para conocer los motivos por los cuales no editan en ella, en esta investigacion hemos implementado el metodo mixto secuencial, para obtener informacion de tres herramientas de obtencion de datos como son los cuestionarios, los grupos de discusion y las entrevistas. Una vez analizadas las 1173 respuestas de los cuestionarios, realizamos un grupo de discusion con los alumnos de la Universidad de Barcelona y entrevistas a expertos editores en la Wikipedia, y se constato que solo el 0,38% edita frecuentemente o muy a menudo. Se expusieron varios motivos para no editar en ella, pero principalmente los alumnos indicaron que no se sentian capaces de aportar ningun tipo de informacion. Why Don’t University Students Edit on Wikipedia?College students admit that one of the tools they use the most in their daily lives is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that gives anyone the freedom to edit its content. They consider that it is reliable and useful for their queries, but above all they believe that it contains current data. In spite of these positive aspects, it is considered that less than 1% of the students frequently edit it to improve its contents. In order to determine the reasons why they do not edit it, in this research we have implemented the sequential mixed method to obtain information from three data collection tools such as questionnaires, discussion groups and interviews. Once the 1,173 responses to the questionnaires had been analyzed, we carried out a discussion group with students from the University of Barcelona and interviews with expert editors on Wikipedia, and it was found that only 0.38% edited frequently or very often. Several reasons were given for not editing it, but mainly the students indicated that they did not feel capable of providing any type of information.
