Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of an educational intervention from virtual education based on the educational use of ResearchGate and LinkedIn to promote higher levels of motivation for academic reading. 210 students from University of Informatics Science participated. The innovation project that supported this research concluded in 2022; therefore, the results shown are ex post facto. In the study, a case study was designed with a control group and an experimental one. A scale and its subscale were replicated, and an ad-hoc questionnaire was designed and validated. In addition, statistical tests and pattern matching were used to determine similarities and differences between groups. Significant differences were evident in the experimental group, which is demonstrated in higher levels of motivation. These students appreciated that the aspects of LinkedIn that contributed the most to their motivation were: learning about opportunities and news in the labor and professional field, and publishing articles and blog posts. In the case of ResearchGate they were digital identity, content curation and collaborative learning from research groups and projects. It is concluded that the use of these networks allowed to strengthen the skills of selection of scientific information, its grouping, analysis, and dissemination.
