Abstract
El objeto de estudio que se plantea en este trabajo de investigación es conocer la percepción del alumnado de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Murcia sobre las noticias falsas en redes sociales y su formación al respecto. Para ello, se persiguen tres objetivos específicos: identificar las estrategias empleadas por dicho alumnado para detectar y combatir las noticias falsas en redes sociales; describir la percepción de los universitarios sobre la presencia y el impacto de las noticias falsas en las redes sociales y, por último, conocer el nivel de formación que considera tener el alumnado en relación con la identificación y el manejo de las noticias falsas en redes sociales. El planteamiento metodológico de naturaleza cuantitativa descriptiva se fundamenta en la cumplimentación de un cuestionario por parte de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación de la UMU, seleccionados mediante un muestreo de conveniencia. Por tanto, los resultados deben interpretarse con cautela y tienen un carácter exploratorio, reflejando únicamente las percepciones del grupo participante. Entre los resultados más destacados se encuentra que los participantes consideran tener una baja interacción con las noticias falsas en redes sociales, pero la mayoría no las denuncia. Además, el 52,1% determina que no es capaz de contrastar una noticia verdadera de una falsa. También se percibe que los estudiantes contemplan que detrás de este tipo de noticias se esconden intereses políticos y económicos. Por último, se destaca que consideran que el medio menos fiable son las redes sociales. En conclusión, se demanda más formación para el desarrollo personal y profesional de los futuros educadores, ofreciéndoles herramientas útiles frente a la desinformación.
The aim of this research work is to show the perception of the students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Murcia about fake news on social media and their training in this regard. To this end, three specific objectives are pursued: to identify the strategies used by these students to detect and combat fake news on social networks; to describe the perception of university students on the presence and impact of fake news on social networks and, finally, to find out the level of training that students consider they have in relation to the identification and handling of fake news on social networks. The descriptive quantitative methodological approach is based on a questionnaire completed by students from the Faculty of Education at the UMU, selected through convenience sampling. Therefore, the results should be interpreted with caution and considered exploratory, as they only represent the perceptions of the participants. The results show that the participants consider that they have a low level of interaction with fake news on social networks, but the majority do not report them. In addition, 52.1% say that they are not able to contrast a true news from a false one. It is also perceived that students contemplate that political and economic interests are hidden behind this type of news. In conclusion, there is a demand for more training for the personal and professional development of future educators, offering them useful tools in the face of misinformation.
