Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el aprovechamiento de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) por parte del personal académico de una universidad pública de Costa Rica. En este proyecto se realizó un muestreo simple al azar con el fin de obtener una muestra 182 funcionarios (N=1134) de distintas unidades académicas de la sede central de la institución. Instrumentos y materiales: se elaboró un cuestionario de aprovechamiento de las TIC con 21 preguntas. Análisis estadístico: se realizó un análisis descriptivo en cada pregunta, por servicios distintos sintetizados en estas, como a través de un índice general de aprovechamiento de las TIC (IGATIC) para determinar si existe relación entre el IGATIC con la condición laboral, el área de conocimiento y la edad mediante una prueba t-Student para diferencia de medias y dos pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis, una para cada factor. El análisis de la información se realizó por medio del software estadístico R, versión 3.3.5. Resultados: sin importar el sexo, la edad o el área de conocimiento, la población académica aprovecha medianamente las TIC. Se logra ver un bajo aprovechamiento de los gestores bibliográficos. Otro resultado es que la mayoría de las personas encuestadas utilizan bases de datos de Acceso Abierto y pocos utilizan las bases pagadas. Otro dato es que la percepción del personal académico con respecto a la conexión a Internet que brinda la institución oscila entre buena y excelente. Se concluye que el personal académico prefiere utilizar herramientas de oficina, ya sea para crear, editar o almacenar documentos.
The objective of this study is to analyze the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by the academic staff of a public university in Costa Rica. In this project, a simple random sampling was carried out in order to obtain a sample of 182 officials (N = 1,134) from different academic units of the institution's headquarters. Instruments and materials: a questionnaire on the use of ICT was prepared with 21 questions. Statistical analysis: a descriptive analysis was carried out in each question, by different services synthesized in these, such as through a general index of use of ICT (IGATIC) to determine if there is a relationship between the IGATIC with the labor condition, the area of knowledge and age using a t-Student test for the difference of means and two Kruskal-Wallis tests, one for each factor. The information analysis was carried out using the statistical software R, version 3.3.5. Results: regardless of gender, age or area of knowledge, the academic population makes moderate use of ICT. It is possible to see a low use of bibliographic managers. Another result is that most of the people surveyed use Open Access databases and few use paid databases. Another piece of information is that the perception of academic staff regarding the Internet connection provided by the institution ranges from good to excellent. It is concluded that academic staff prefer to use office tools, whether to create, edit or store documents.
