Abstract

Research on study habits at the university has been constantly reviewed because its analysis has served to understand the various practices and customs inherent in academic training that enable students to improve their academic performance or to predict what it will be under certain educational conditions. This research aimed to identify the study habits of students from private universities in Colombia and Mexico during their participation in the non-face-to-face educational modality that arose because of a complex digital change due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A protocol was established based on the comparative education methodology and a quantitative perspective with a non-experimental research design. The results indicate that after living the non-face-to-face educational experience mediated by digital tools, Mexican and Colombian students have increased their digital literacy and their ability to organize their daily activities and have expressed their preference for participating in hybrid teaching environments where combine online and face-to-face learning strategies, as well as a greater implementation of collaborative digital tools.
