Abstract

The purpose of this research was to perform an exploratory factorial analysis of the digital competencies questionnaire in students. A cross-sectional observational design was applied to 322 students of the Tecnológico Superior Universitario España from the 4th and 5th cycles of the Business Administration career. It was obtained that the basic assumption of the factor analysis of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure was 0.778 and Bartlett’s sphericity test had a significant value p<0.000. On the other hand, the variance of the first component was 28%, component 2 had a percentage of almost 12% as explained variance, and finally the third component had a variance percentage representation of 10%. This means that the percentage of accumulated variance of the three components was 50.5%.
