Abstract

This study investigates the quantitative effects of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the academic performance of university students. A quantitative design was used with a representative sample of students from different majors and faculties. The data was collected through questionnaires and academic records, and variables such as the frequency of ICT use and the type of ICT used were analyzed. The results showed a positive association between the frequent use of ICT, especially in activities related to learning and academic collaboration, and the academic performance of university students. Significant differences were found in the use of ICT according to the major and faculty, which suggests the influence of the academic context. These findings highlight the need to promote the effective use of ICT in higher education, promoting pedagogical strategies that properly integrate ICT into the teaching-learning process. In addition, they contribute to the understanding of the role of ICT in the academic performance of university students, offering a quantitative basis for future research in this field.
