Social Networks and Cooperative Work in Electronics and Informatics Students

Resumen

This study aims to establish the relationship between social media and cooperative work. Its approach is quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. The population consisted of 135 students from the Electronics and Computer Science programs at a public university in Lima, distributed across six admission cohorts corresponding to the academic periods from 2019 to 2023. The results indicate that the social media dimension of digital tool usage is correlated with cooperative work. Higher levels in the social media dimension correspond to greater cooperative work, as evidenced by Spearman’s correlation coefficient of 0.744, representing a high positive correlation. Similarly, increasing r2r^2r2 yields a common factor variance of r2=0.555r^2 = 0.555r2=0.555, indicating a shared variance of 55.5%. As a result, it is confirmed that there is a significant relationship between social media use and cooperative work among students in the Electronics and Computer Science study programs.
