This research examines the practices of university students for whom the training process has been modified due to COVID-19 pandemics; the process adopted a remote attendance of courses that interacts with virtual learning spaces. Because of the challenges posed, a study was implemented whose objective was to analyze the effects of access to ICTs by university students from the National University (UNA), Chorotega Region Campus, Liberia, Costa Rica, and its possible repercussions on teaching-learning processes. This was achieved by conducting a study with a quantitative, descriptive, and explanatory approach; the study was conducted in a sample of 221 university students. The results revealed wide inequalities in the following four components in different student groups: connectivity, technological resources, inconveniences, and alternate complications. Besides, the results showed that, in the interaction with ICTs, there is an evident discrepancy in access to digital resources, known as the digital divide. Important variables to be considered to address the mental health of students and teachers also stand out. The research establishes that digital literacy is a social challenge still pending. Therefore, recommendations are proposed to the UNA’s different instances, especially to the Office of the Vice President for Student Welfare and the Office of the Vice President for Teaching. La presente investigación examina las prácticas de los estudiantes universitarios para quienes su proceso de formación se ha visto modificado durante tiempos de COVID-19 hacia una presencialidad remota que interactúa con espacios de aprendizajes virtuales. Ante estos retos, se implementó un estudio, cuyo objetivo fue analizar el efecto del acceso a las TIC por parte de los estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad Nacional (UNA), Sede Región Chorotega, Campus Liberia, y sus posibles repercusiones en los procesos de enseñanza - aprendizaje. Para lograrlo, se realizó un estudio con un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo y explicativo, con una muestra a 221 educandos universitarios. Los resultados revelaron amplias desigualdades en diversos extractos estudiantiles en cuatro componentes: conectividad, recursos tecnológicos, inconvenientes y complicaciones alternas. También se determinó que en la interacción con las TIC coexiste una evidente discrepancia en el acceso a los recursos digitales, llamado brecha digital. Sobresalen también importantes variables que deben ser consideradas para atender la salud mental de estudiantes y docentes. La investigación establece que la alfabetización digital es un desafío social que sigue pendiente. Para ello, se establecen recomendaciones dirigidas a las diferentes instancias de la UNA, sobre todo a la Vicerrectoría de Bienestar Estudiantil y a la Vicerrectoría de Docencia.   Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica 2020-12-18 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Sección arbritrada por pares application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/nuevohumanismo/article/view/14164 10.15359/rnh.8-2.5 New Humanism Journal; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2020): Revista Nuevo Humanismo; 28 Revista Nuevo Humanismo; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2020): Revista Nuevo Humanismo; 28 Revista Novo Humanismo; v. 8 n. 2 (2020): Revista Nuevo Humanismo; 28 2215-4078 1405-0234 spa https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/nuevohumanismo/article/view/14164/20771 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/nuevohumanismo/article/view/14164/20777 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/nuevohumanismo/article/view/14164/20783 Derechos de autor 2020 Revista Nuevo Humanismo
