Abstract:
Students who currently enroll in university classes for their higher education, have a different perspective than students a decade ago. New generation students have been emerged in digital technology. They utilize mobile devices connected to social networks that potentially become an effective educational tool. However, occasionally material resources of public and perhaps private universities are not sufficient to ensure that these tools can be potentially used by the teachers during the learning process. In other instances a lack of teacher training may be present. These factors could impact statistical results of the use of mobile devices in public universities. We find this to be the case at Autonomus University of the State of Mexico, UAEMex, in its four University Centers of the UAEMex, Valle de México, Ecatepec, Valle de Chalco and Zumpango. We conduct a survey of 5,890 individuals. Results indicate teachers use mobile devices at a rate between 2-11% for all academic centers. Students use is about 17-30%, except for Ecatepe, which is less than 10%. This research shows the statistical results obtained through question examinations of the use of digital tools in the classrooms. We also show how application of the PACIE methodology (presence, scope, training, interaction and E-learning) encourages Teachers’ personal initiative in the use of new generation digital tools
