These professionals are not common subjects in research studies, and even less if the research addresses their use or abuse of technology. The following article seeks to determine the relationship of these professionals with the Internet, from the perspective of their problematic use of it. For this, a quantitative method was utilized with an ex-post facto design, extracting the data from the Spanish version of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) questionnaire, with a sample of students enrolled in the Social Education Degree (N=206) . The results showed scarce significant differences as a function of the sociodemographic variables such as gender or academic year, as well as a problematic use more than an addiction. These results show that perhaps the technological addictions are deviating towards other resources or media that are different to the Internet, in this new era of virtualization  \nKeywords  \nInternet; university student; problematic use; social educator  \nV.Marín-Díaz & B.Sampedro  \nDigital Education Review-Number 39,June 2021- 76  \nI. Introduction  \nThe development of Information and Communication Technologies (from here on ICT) has led to the growth of specific resources, which, as the Internet, have generalized not only the access to a great diversity of materials, but communication, social relations, learning, an economic system, etc., have been brought closer to the general population. As indicated by Kitazawa et al. (2018), these elements have substantially changed our lifestyles, ultimately becoming an essential part of it. In this sense, at the worldwide level, the Ditrendia report in 2019 underlined that there were 4.388 million Internet users of different ages and socioeconomic levels. If we focus on Spain, the National Statistics Institute (2020) pointed out that in 2020, 92.3% of the Spanish population aged 16 to 74 years old, navigated the Internet daily, increasing their consumption by 2.5 points as compared to 2019. Thus, it can be considered that although the use and consumption of the Internet increases daily, this does not imply that all the population sectors use it in the same manner. Initially, and as pointed out by Moral and Suarez (2016), the manner in which we conceived our relationship with the Internet changed in the last decade, also transforming the advantages and the disadvantages of its use, and our attitude towards it.  \nIt can be pointed out that the main elements which make us think of the internet in a positive manner, revolve around factors that allow us to broadcast knowledge without time-space constraints, in infinite and varied ways. This provides us with the opportunity to take part in teaching and learning processes and to freely express thoughts and ideas (Anand, 2018; Lemus, Barcenas and Barrentero, 2020) .  \nOn the other hand, the studies conducted on the excessive use of the Internet have shown that it tends to provoke social isolation, low self-esteem, depression, or interpersonal problems, aggressiveness, neuroticism, insomnia, or decreased self-control (Neelapaijit, Pinyopornpanish, Simcharoen, Kuntawong, Wongpakaran and Wongpakaran, 2018; Babakr, Majeed, Soran and Kakamad, 2019) .  \nAll of these factors have provoked a divergence in the scientific community around the naming of the problem, as there is a tendency which urges us to talk about addiction to the Internet (Griffiths, Kuss, Billieux and Pontes, 2016; Kumar, Kumar, Badiyani, Singh, Gupta and Ismail, 2018), and another which prefers to refer to it as a problematic use of the Internet (Ozgur, Demiralay and Demiralay, 2017; Van Rooij, Ferguson, van de Mh","cbCaiuavYuHsYcHN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuavYuHsYcHN","pdf",112498,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Research background: ICT and Internet expansion\n## Potential benefits of Internet use\n## Risks linked to excessive Internet use\n## Debate: addiction vs. problematic use\n## DSM-V and institutional framing of risk\n## Study aim: addressing social educators","[{\"question\":\"What relationship between social educators and the Internet does the article examine?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates social educators’ connection to the Internet, focusing specifically on problematic use rather than treating it as a straightforward addiction.\"},{\"question\":\"How was problematic Internet use measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a quantitative ex-post facto design and analyzed data taken from the Spanish version of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT).\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results suggest about differences across students?\",\"answer\":\"The findings show scarce significant differences by sociodemographic variables such as gender or academic year, and indicate problematic use appears more frequent than addiction.\"}]","Social educators and their relationship with the Internet - Use or abuse of this medium | PDF",1792092232,33]
