Abstract:
This article aims to evaluate the safety area of digital competence in pre-adolescents schooled in primary education as well as to understand the processes that interfere with the development of that area. A mixed research methodology was used through an exploratory sequential design with a qualitative phase (multiple case study) followed by quantitative phase (assessment test on safety). Particularly noteworthy among the results obtained is the influence of the family on the subcompetence of health protection as it is the one that worries families the most and where students score the highest on the test conducted.
