La excepcionalidad derivada de la situación de confinamiento por la pandemia del COVID-19 ha afectado a todos los ámbitos de nuestro funcionamiento como sociedad: el relacional, el sanitario, el económico, etc. y, por supuesto, el educativo. Este estudio se centra en el impacto en dichos ámbitos y el papel jugado por aspectos como la resiliencia, el capital social online y la satisfacción vital. Para ello se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo de carácter exploratorio sobre 343 estudiantes universitarios. La conclusión más destacada es constatar el fuerte impacto que el confinamiento ha tenido sobre la situación vital del estudiantado en el ámbito psicológico y académico, principalmente, y el importante papel de la relación con la satisfacción vital y la resiliencia, fundamentalmente. Se concluye con la necesidad de trabajar la cuestión de la resiliencia desde la universidad y se dan una serie de claves a tal fin.

This paper aims at showing a state of the art about digital citizenship from the methodological point of view when it comes to measuring this construct. The review of the scientific literature offers at least ten definitions and nine different scales of measurement. The comparative and diachronic analysis of the content of the definitions shows us two conceptions of digital citizenship, some more focused on digital competences and others on critical and activist aspects. This paper replicates and compares three scales of measurement of digital citizenship selected for their relevance and administered in a sample of 366 university students, to analyze their psychometric properties and the existing coincidences and divergences between the three. The most outstanding conclusion is that not all of them seem to measure the same construct, due to its diversity of dimensions. An online activism dimension needs to be incorporated if digital citizenship is to be measured. There is an urgent need to agree internationally on a definition of digital citizenship with its corresponding dimensions to elaborate a reliable and valid measuring instrument.

The 2030 Agenda sets out seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The educational goal is to promote the education of citizens on sustainable development, among other things. Educating today’s digital citizens on sustainability means training them for justice and social activism, commitment and political engagement. However, research into the subject shows a lack of consistency in the education of university students. This paper presents a study of students of Education, on education on sustainability through the practice of active and critical digital citizenship. A quasi-experimental method was used to learn about the behaviors of digital citizens, and intervention was carried out by means of an SDG-focused workshop and observation of the final level of commitment. The results show a positive level of commitment and digital activism around content related to sustainable development, which can be addressed from the university syllabus in a cross-curricular way.

Between March and May, Spain was one of the hardest-hit European countries by the COVID-19 pandemic and registered one of the highest death rates in the world. Among other measures, the political response was a lockdown of more than three months that was applied by means of six fifteen-day extensions. The Spanish Sociological Research Centre (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas; CIS, in its Spanish acronym) carried out a survey in early June (n = 4,258) asking respondents about their rating of the response to the situation and their ability to cope with further extensions of the state of emergency. The concept of resilience is key to understanding this situation and the population's ability to face up to it. This paper analyses factors that help bolster resilience, which include confidence in the political leader and in the perception or rating of the measures adopted. The conclusion highlights the importance of political communication, both of leadership and of political measures, in fostering social resilience.

We start with the neo-republican model of citizenship proposed by Habermas to situate it in the context of the digital age. The digital citizen is defined as a person who exercises their rights on the Internet of citizenship from ethical and critical principles consistent with a political activism, in order to promote social change. This study has focused on the evaluation of digital citizenship through the Digital Citizenship Scale of Choi, Glassman and Cristol (2017), with the aim of ascertaining, what profile, dimensions and needs of digital citizenship characterize the university students interviewed (n = 250). The results show that young university students have high digital skills and technical skills, as well as a very regular use of digital media. However, the dimensions of critical approach and political activism o cyberactivsim are deficient. Finally, the fact of seeking information or information through digital means significantly leads to greater digital citizenship, while the accomplishment of activities and academic university tasks does not bring any increase. In conclusion, the university educational level faces the challenge of promoting critical and active digital citizenship education, especially in its dimension of activism or online engagement in all aspects of the teaching-learning process.

Uno de los principales usos de las TIC en la población joven se encuentra en las redes sociales, siendo Youtube una de las más populares. Aprovechando este éxito también entre la población universitaria se decide crear una plataforma educativa con un repositorio de vídeos educativos en el campo de las ciencias sociales. El material que viene a constituir la plataforma tiene dos orígenes: vídeos seleccionados por el profesorado o vídeos elaborados por el alumnado. En esta investigación se pretende conocer qué valoración hace el alumnado universitario de las redes sociales en el aprendizaje y en especial de Youtube. Los resultados muestran que el alumnado valora positivamente el uso de Youtube en las clases magistrales, sin embargo esto no se corresponde con un uso individual de esta red social como instrumento de aprendizaje. Se concluye con la necesidad de hacer un buen uso educativo de las redes sociales y de enfatizar y apoyar el papel del alumnado como productor de contenido educativo.
