Our survey showed that 97% of teachers or students have some kind of cell phone or smartphone. However, we observed that one of every four interactions with the mobile device had a concrete educational purpose. We also found that in general the educational use of the cell phone is mainly aimed to establish communication between the students and to access information via Internet. However, in spite of its limitations, our results show that the cell phone is a technological tool with great pedagogical potential. We suggest that institutional policies are necessary in order to tap that the cell phone potential to adequately support the teaching-learning process.Se presenta un estudio sobre apropiación y usos educativos del teléfono celular en 954 estudiantes y 246 docentes que representan respectivamente 12% y 24% de la población total de los dos campus de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California en Ensenada. Se desarrolló y aplicó una encuesta a dichos universitarios en 2011; los resultados muestran que los estudiantes tienen una media de uso del teléfono celular de 7 años, mientras que para los docentes es de 10 años. Los estudiantes tuvieron mayor facilidad para manejar los dispositivos. La posesión de teléfono celular fue de 97% para estudiantes y docentes. Se registra que los usos educativos del celular son pocos; los principales usos fueron para comunicación, manejo de información y organización. Las principales desventajas encontradas fueron: distracción y costo elevado de conexión. El teléfono celular cuenta con gran potencial pedagógico, sin embargo, es necesario ampliar las investigaciones para su adecuada incorporación al proceso educativo universitario.REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).2013-12-152021-06-03T03:04:56Z2021-06-03T03:04:56Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/571 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6136Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2013)Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2013)1607-4041reponame:Repositorio Institucional de la UABCSinstname:Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Surinstacron:UABCSspahttps://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/571/834https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/571/845Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorioinstitucional.uabc.mx:20.500.12930/61362024-09-18T21:36:08Z
