There is also evidence that the men have greater perceived competence in developing “online presentations” than women do. The results show that men have greater perceived competence in digital cartography and online presentations, whereas women prefer to request personal tutorials to resolve doubts about technology and have greater perceived competence in corporate emailing. The use of Bayes factors also offers advantages with respect to the use of frequentist p-values, like the generation of information on the alternative hypothesis, that the evidence is not dependent on the sample size used.
The research applied a quantitative methodology based on a Bayesian approach using multinomial joint distribution as prior distribution. The study was carried out at two public universities in Spain (UNED – the National Distance-Learning University, and the Universidad Pablo de Olavide) on a sample of 923 students, who responded to a questionnaire entitled “University Students’ Basic Digital Competences 2.0” (COBADI – registered at the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office). The study of gender differences in university students’ acquisition of digital competence has considerable didactic and strategic consequences for the development of these skills. This article analyses the differences in basic digital competences of male and female university students on Social Education, Social Work and Pedagogy courses.
