    Mesa 3. Nudo 2. Sujeto y saber.-GOOGLE: La disolución del experto

    Resumen: La adquisición de creencias tiene una gran dimensión social. Desarrollamos creencias a partir de testimonios que consideramos fiables, generalmente por provenir de expertos. La aparición de internet parece haber alterado esta forma de configurar el conocimiento. Internet se ha convertido en un sistema reticular de información en la que diversos testimonios se apoyan mutuamente. Estudiaremos cómo el buscador de Google, al tener un acceso privilegiado a esta red, se perfila como un nuevo tipo de experto que no se especializa en un tema y cuya fiabilidad no depende de su autoridad, sino de la cantidad de apoyo. Este hecho despierta interesantes preguntas sobre nuestros deberes epistémicos y nuestra responsabilidad a la hora de aceptar lo que encontramos en internet.

    Usage of Internet by University Students of Hispanic Countries: Analysis Aimed at Digital Literacy Processes in Higher Education
    (Academic Publishing House Researcher., 2021-01-30) Gómez-Galán, José; Martínez-López, José Ángel; Fernández-Martínez, María del Mar; Lázaro Pérez, Cristina; Trabajo Social
    One of several scientific disciplines' significant objectives is to determine the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the academic setting. This research studies the use of ICTs, especially the Internet, by university students in Hispanic countries. The methodology used is descriptive and quantitative, based on data mining, through a validated and highly reliable instrument. The sample was composed of students from six countries (N = 1893). The results show that the primary interests in using ICTs and the Internet are primarily for consuming social networks, obtaining information, and leisure, above and beyond their use for academic and university purposes. This indicates that there is still a lack of sufficient training for the optimal use of these technologies by higher education students. It is urgent to carry out digital literacy processes that allow them to develop a critical sense in using ICTs, nowadays configured as powerful means of communication. Furthermore, this study has been determined that the Hispanic common space has solid cultural roots and everyday practices that lead to quite similar general interests.
