Analysing the process by which students—whether at university or not—manage and facilitate their own learning has been a recurrent educational research problem. Recently, the question arises about how the development of strategies taking place during the aforementioned process could be made easier by using technologies. In an effort to know whether university students really use digital technologies to plan, organize and facilitate their own learning, we have proposed three research questions. Which technologies do university students use to self-regulate their learning? What self-regulated learning strategies do they develop using technologies? What profiles could be identified among students based on their use of self-regulation strategies with technology? To answer these questions, the “Survey of Self-regulated Learning with Technology at the University” was designed. Information from a sample group with 711 students from various universities located in the region of Andalusia (Spain) was collected with this survey. The results indicate that university students, even when they are frequent users of digital technology, they tend not to use these technologies to regulate their own learning process. Of all technologies analysed, Internet information search and instant communication tools are used continually. In turn, the most generalised self-regulation learning strategies are those relative to social support. Nevertheless, students differ from each other regarding their use and frequency. There are groups of students who make use of self-regulation strategies when learning with technologies. In this regard, two distinctive groups of students have been identified, who show differentiated self-regulated levels.

The European Higher Education Area has promoted reconsidering the role played by teachers at universities. Faculties are expected to design learning activities that promote the acquisition of competencies among students. In this context, technologies have garnered prominence as they contribute to creating student-centred learning environments. This study answers these research questions: (1) To what extent has university teaching changed with the implementation of digital technologies in university classrooms? What technology-based learning activities are incorporated in instructional designs by the teachers? (2) How does the faculty describe the integration of technological knowledge into pedagogical content knowledge when designing and developing technology-based learning activities? (3) According to university teachers, which other factors (intrinsic or extrinsic) determine the use of digital technologies in their learning designs? To answer these questions, we have collected data from two differentiated samples of university teachers using the Inventory of Learning Activities with Technology at the University and semi-structured interviews. First, the results reveal that teachers use technologies to carry out learning activities focusing on the content and the teacher. Student-centred learning activities are only timidly being incorporated. Second, the extent to which such activities are implemented is linked to the teachers’ techno-pedagogical content knowledge. Third, the factors that facilitate or inhibit teachers from using technologies in the teaching–learning process respond to intrinsic aspects, such as teachers’ knowledge and beliefs, but also to extrinsic and contextual issues, such as the discipline taught or institutional policy at the university regarding the use of educational technologies.

This research aims to analyze the level of use of technology by university teachers. We are interested by the frequency of their use in designing the teaching-learning process. The research questions were: what types of learning activities which include are designed by university teachers? What types of technologies do teachers use in the design of their instruction? What is the level of use of digital technologies in the learning designs? To respond to these issues, we designed an inventory of activities of learning technologies at the university which was completed by 941 Andalusian teachers. We have identified the type and frequency of use of technology by university lecturers in their different fields at the same time as studying learning activities that predominate in their learning designs. The results, first of all, reveal a poor integration of ICT in the teaching-learning processes which are, essentially, the teacher-centered learning activities. Secondly, we have identified four profiles which differentiate between d teachers depending on their level of use of ICT. The profile comprising an increased number of teachers makes making reference to the rare use of technology. There are teachers who use technology sparingly, and this is a very small range.Esta investigación tiene por objetivo analizar el nivel de uso que de las tecnologías hace el profesorado universitario, interesándose tanto por la frecuencia de uso de ellas, como por el tipo de actividades de aprendizaje en las que se utilizan. Los problemas de investigación se centraron en: ¿qué tipos de actividades de aprendizaje con tecnologías diseñan los docentes universitarios?, ¿qué tipo de tecnologías utilizan los docentes en el diseño de su enseñanza?, ¿cuál es el nivel de uso de las tecnologías digitales en los diseños del aprendizaje del profesorado universitario? Hemos diseñado el Inventario de Actividades de Aprendizaje con Tecnologías en la Universidad que fue respondido por 941 docentes andaluces. A través de él hemos identificado el tipo y frecuencia de uso que de la tecnología hace el profesorado universitario en sus materias al tiempo que hemos estudiado las actividades de aprendizaje que predominan en sus diseños del aprendizaje. Los resultados revelan una pobre integración de tecnologías en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje los cuales se constituyen, esencialmente, de actividades de aprendizaje centradas en el docente. Hemos identificado cuatro perfiles diferenciados de docentes en función del nivel de uso que hacen de las TIC. De los cuatro, el perfil que mayor número de docentes agrupa es el que hace referencia a un uso poco frecuente de la tecnología; son docentes que emplean escasamente la tecnología y esta es de una gama muy reducida.

The aim of this study was to measure and analyse the association of emotional burnout and resilience with the psychological distress of students who finished their nursing studies after the peak of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The mental health of nursing students was affected during the pandemic, and resilience seems to counteract the negative effects. This is a cross‐sectional study. The data (quantitative) were gathered at the beginning of the second term of the academic year 2020/2021. The study was carried out in the Spanish university context. Self‐reported measures were gathered using three one‐dimensional, valid, and reliable scales: the Psychological Distress Scale (K‐10), the Emotional Burnout Scale (EBS), and the short version of the Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC10). A total of 393 students of different Spanish universities participated in this study. A valid linear regression model was obtained, which allowed verifying that psychological distress is explained, with 37% variance, by emotional burnout and resilience. The total score in emotional burnout has more relevance than the total score in resilience, and the latter has a negative tendency. Facing the factors that generate emotional burnout in students in the academic scope and promoting resilience in them are fundamental aspects that contribute to their psychological well‐being. The reflection should be extended to clinical practices. Universities are urged to think about last‐year students, their experiences, perceptions, and feelings, to determine how their susceptibility to emotional burnout and psychological distress can be minimized in their future clinical practices. Strategies to promote their resilience should also be studied.

Las redes sociales propician oportunidades de aprendizaje informal que los docentes utilizan para su desarrollo profesional. Mediante el análisis de datos recogidos a través de un cuestionario respondido por 447 docentes hemos conocido cuáles son las redes sociales que más utilizan para su aprendizaje, qué diferencias existen en el uso de estas y cuáles son los motivos que los lleva a utilizarlas para su labor docente. Al abordar las redes sociales que más se utilizan, se han realizado contrastes de diferencias de medias considerando las variables nominales de sexo, edad y nivel educativo en el que se enseña. Encontramos que los docentes se motivan para utilizar las redes sociales en la medida en que suponen un espacio para encontrar recursos digitales, materiales, videotutoriales elaborados por otros docentes y que pueden considerar se interés. Sin embargo, los docentes no suelen recurrir a las redes sociales para superar el aislamiento que puedan sentir, ni para compartir preocupaciones o emociones ni para pedir ayuda a otro compañero. En futuras investigaciones será necesario indagar acerca de en qué medida la participación de los docentes en las redes sociales repercute en la mejora de la práctica docente y en los aprendizajes de los estudiantes
