Abstract

Digital citizenship is a condition inherent to the use of virtual systems in the process of transformation of society as a product of technological developments in digital science. The concept implies a set of skills that allows people access, differentiated and voluntary use of information, digital platforms and other technological tools. The technological gap as a negative phenomenon, of mandatory overcoming, because it delays the development and creates social inequalities. To achieve the task requires that the digital behavior of the citizen covers a set of dimensions such as access, netiquette, communication, education, work, among others.

The research presented here is descriptive, investigating the situation of Panamanian citizens in relation to these elements and the policies of the State to close the digital divide in educational informatics in Panama. Statistical data on determinants of the subject, produced by government agencies, international institutions and individual authors, were analyzed, in addition to the digital labor training offer for university teachers present in the educational platforms of each institution.

The study determined progressiveness in the use of digital channels in the daily life of citizens and a weakness in training and support programs for university teachers in digital matters.
