This study proposes mediation models to explain the influence of socio-familial variables in evaluating digital competence in communication and collaboration among Spanish students in compulsory education (ESO; 12-16 years of age). A non-experimental quantitative methodology was employed, within an explanatory, cross-sectional design, with a sample of 609 students from 18 schools, selected by stratified random sampling. Data was collected using an objective assessment test of knowledge and skills, and a Likert scale for attitudes. Regression analyses were performed by creating theoretical reference models with bootstrapping. The results show, through different models, the influence of socio-familial variables in acquiring and developing digital competence.

Keywords : digital skills; educational technology; communication technology; basic education.
