Resumen
[EN] Technology has become invaluable and digital competence has turned into a
necessity for students. The research presented here aims to propose mediation
models that explain the influence of attitudinal, technology use, and family factors
on the level of digital problem-solving skills of compulsory education students
(12-14 years old). A quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional design was
used. We worked with a sample of 772 students from 18 Spanish educational centres
according to a stratified random sampling method. For data collection, an objective
assessment test was used for knowledge and skills, and a Likert scale for attitudes.
Regression analyses were carried out by creating theoretical reference models based
on the bootstrapping technique. The results showed that students who expressed a
favourable attitude towards digital problem solving demonstrated a better level of
competence, which was also positively influenced by the possession of technological
devices and the frequency of their use for school and non-school activities at home.
