| Resumo: | The constant technological transformations have given rise to the so-called Digital Society, which is increasingly developing in virtual spaces. In this context, the Alpha generation corresponds as the most exposed and familiarised with digital devices from a great diversity towards their mastery and conception. The aim of this study is to analyse the level of knowledge, skills, attitudes and emotions that 5th and 6th grade primary school students have towards the use of technology. For this purpose, a quantitative approach has been carried out, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional and exploratory design, with a sample of 274 students from five schools in the province of Cadiz. The Bastarrachea et al. (2023) questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results show that mothers act as advisors on how their children should use technology. Furthermore, although the young people have acceptable skills, they do not have good technological knowledge. |
