Abstract
Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) suelen asociarse al entretenimiento; sin embargo, también pueden emplearse para obtener, organizar y analizar información relevante en el desarrollo de investigaciones eficientes. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el uso de las TIC y las competencias investigativas en estudiantes universitarios de pregrado. Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, de diseño no experimental, básica y de tipo correlacional transversal. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 62 estudiantes seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico. Para la recolección de datos, se aplicaron dos encuestas con alta confiabilidad (α = 0.957 para el uso de las TIC y α = 1.00 para competencias investigativas). Los resultados mostraron que el 52 % de los participantes presentó un nivel destacado en el uso de las TIC, mientras que el 60 % alcanzó un nivel totalmente adecuado en competencias investigativas. Se concluyó que existe una correlación moderada entre el uso de las TIC y las competencias investigativas, lo que evidencia la importancia de implementar estrategias que potencien el acceso a información adecuada y eficaz en la elaboración de trabajos investigativos.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the use of ICT and research skills in undergraduate university students. A quantitative, non-experimental, basic and cross-sectional correlational research was carried out. The sample consisted of 62 students selected by non-probabilistic sampling. For data collection, two surveys were applied with high reliability (α = 0.957 for ICT use and α = 1.00 for research competencies). The results showed that 52 % of the participants presented an outstanding level in the use of ICT, while 60 % reached a fully adequate level in investigative competencies. It was concluded that there is a moderate correlation between the use of ICT and research skills, which shows the importance of implementing strategies that enhance access to adequate and effective information in the development of research work.
