INTERNET OF THINGS AND CULTURE OF INNOVATION IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY STUDENTS; [Internet de las cosas y cultura de innovación en estudiantes de Universidad Pública]

Abstract

The global economic downturn, the challenges posed by climate change, escalating poverty rates, dwindling water and food supplies, and health issues, among others, continue to affect the world's population. In response to these crises, the promotion of innovation has become imperative, particularly within university education. This research, using a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, aims to determine the influence of the development of an Internet of Things (IoT) module on the culture of innovation among students at the National University of Education (UNE). Data were collected from 62 students enrolled in the Telecommunications and Computer Science programme. The results show that the implementation of the IoT course significantly influences the values, behaviours, climate, resources, processes and outcomes related to the innovation culture. © VisualCom Scientific Publications, authors.
