ACOSTA"SILVA, David Arturo. In search of the competencies of digital natives: progress of a meta"synthesis. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.471-489. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1513014062016.

This paper reports the first results of a meta"synthesis of research studies over the last 15 years that have sought to evaluate the digital competencies of young people; our purpose was to establish whether these results support the claim that young people have widespread and high"level digital competencies. For this purpose, a screening was performed as part of the literature review, searching for papers that had the objective of analyzing digital competencies following an exploration of the concept of digital natives and the sharing of empirical results. An analysis was conducted for the concepts, methods and results from these studies. The result of this process showed that most of these studies conclude that such claims about young people"™s digital competencies are not empirically supported.

Palabras clave : digital natives; digital competences; youth; digital technology; ICT.
