Implementation of parental control applications for Internet use as technological tools to support academic performance

The objective of this study was to diagnose the parental control that the representatives of the Unidad Educativa Fiscal (UEF) "Tarqui" of the city of Manta, province of Manabí in Ecuador perform on the content that minors handle on the Internet. In addition, the feasibility of implementing a technological tool to facilitate this control was studied. The methodology applied had a qualitative-quantitative, exploratory and descriptive approach; it was applied to a population of 140 representatives and 140 students, and 40 teachers of the General Unified High School level were also considered. The results obtained allowed us to identify that despite the precautions or actions that the representatives carry out for the monitoring of internet activities by the minors, there is a need for an adequate tool through the use of computer programs or mobile applications that allow carrying out this activity in real time, responding to the time in which we live where every day it is more common for minors to access a device with connectivity; taking into account that parental interaction to ensure a good use of the internet may be of support in the academic performance of students and therefore positively influence their performance.
