EDUCATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SKILLS IN THE EMERGING AFRICAN CONTEXT: A CHALLENGE FOR THE FUTURE

ABSTRACT

The objective of this research is to analyze the perception of the faculty and students of the Equatoguinean University on the emerging educational and technological competencies in the African context, at the Bata campus of the National University of Equatorial Guinea. It was a non-experimental study, with a quantitative methodology, with an interpretive paradigm, cross-sectional, explanatory, descriptive and correlational. We used as instrument a Likert scale validated in content and construct. Data analysis was performed using Pearson's P correlation, descriptive analysis, and one-factor ANOVA, both to see the differences between teachers and students, and the influence of belonging to one ethnic group or another. In conclusion, we highlight that technological skills are valued more than personal and social skills. In addition, ethnicity determines the significant differences in predominant social skills.
