Resumen

Este estudio exploró el papel de la desconexión social, el burnout y otras variables relacionadas con el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios. Se llevó a cabo en el contexto de la modalidad online derivada de la pandemia del COVID-19. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 330 participantes matriculados en el sistema educativo español. Se obtuvieron estadísticos descrip-tivos univariantes y se calcularon correlaciones de Spearman y regresiones lineales múltiples. El aprendizaje en línea correlacionó significativamente con todas las demás variables. El modelo de regresión lineal múltiple mostró que una mayor eficacia académica, una baja desconexión social percibida con respecto a los compañeros de clase, un mayor uso de la cámara por parte de los compañeros durante las clases en línea y una alta disponibilidad de un espacio adecuado en el hogar para las actividades de aprendizaje fueron variables que predijeron un mayor aprendizaje en línea. Este estudio respalda algunos hallazgos ya establecidos en la literatura (por ejemplo, la re-lación entre el burnout y el aprendizaje) y también genera nuevas evidencias sobre algunos aspectos menos estu-diados en investigaciones previas, como el papel de la desconexión social de los compañeros de clase y algunas variables específicas asociadas a las TIC.
