Internet Addiction: Processes for the Creation of Educational Prevention Project - New Approach Based on Digital Competence

Different educational programs aim to reduce or control internet addiction. These are based on a traditional methodology that can be recognized as an exposition or master class (participatory or not). In this type of educational program, the student acquires a passive role since they are focused on informing the students of the dangers associated with the development of internet addiction, but not on the treatment or changes in behavior. If one reviews these educational programs, one can see how they have little effect on students. For this reason, a new educational program approach has been created that fights or limits internet addiction through a methodological proposal that also focuses on increasing digital competence while limiting or controlling the evolution of internet addiction. In this article, the design is presented.
