Résumé
In the digital age, the introduction of digital technologies (or information and communication technologies, ICT) in classrooms is a necessary, imperative reality. However, the educational results do not seem to match the expectations generated. For this reason, this revision seeks to make up for the scant attention paid to the possible harmful effects of the use of ICT based on research and educational practice. After providing a general overview of the impact of ICT on learning, we survey the results of studies that reveal potential negative consequences of their use inside and outside the school context. We analyse their impact on both academic performance and other more specific areas, such as reading comprehension, and we stress the negative effects on so-called ‘digital natives’. In short, what stands out is the importance of an evidence-based education practice which bears in mind the possible harmful effects of using ICT and bears in mind that its beneficial effects seem to rely on not only how much but also how they are used.

Resumen: En la era digital, la introducción de las tecnologías digitales (o tecnologías de la información y comunicación, TIC) en las aulas es una realidad necesaria e imparable. Sin embargo, los resultados educativos no parecen cumplir con las expectativas generadas. Por ello, la presente revisión trata de cubrir la escasa atención prestada a los posibles efectos perjudiciales del uso de las TIC desde la investigación y la práctica educativa. Tras una exposición general del impacto de las TIC en el aprendizaje, se repasan los resultados de estudios que revelan posibles consecuencias negativas de su uso dentro y fuera del contexto escolar. Se analiza tanto el impacto en el rendimiento académico, como en otras áreas más específicas como la comprensión lectora, y se enfatizan los efectos negativos en los llamados ‘nativos digitales’. En definitiva, se resalta la importancia de una práctica educativa que, con base en la evidencia, tenga en English version: pp. 465–471 / Versión en español: pp. 472–478 References / Referencias: pp. 478–480 Translated from Spanish / Traducción del español: Mary Black Authors’ Address / Correspondencia con los autores: Ladislao Salmerón, ERI Lectura y Departamento de Psicología del Desarrollo y de la Educación, Universitat de València, Avd.
