Abstract

This study explores the influence of five types of digital skills on ICT use for schoolwork in Mexico through a combined importance-performance map analysis (cIPMA). The research used data from 4,990 records of individuals, mostly children and adolescents, who were frequent users of ICT and enrolled in different levels of education, as reported by the 2024 National Survey on Household Availability and Use of Information Technology (ENDUTIH). A structural equation model was validated (R2= 0.891) and this served as the foundation to produce values of importance and performance (IPMA), which were examined in conjunction with a necessary condition analysis (NCA). The findings exhibit differences in the influence of the five digital skills on ICT use for schoolwork and, in particular, highlight the importance of operational competencies and irrelevance of social skills. The cIPMA results provide evidence to support the design of technology integration strategies in schools. To this end, some future lines of inquiry are also suggested, including the effective integration of social networks into teaching practices in schools.
