This research presents the results of a survey elaborated by the Center for Studies of the Foundation for Press Freedom that was conducted among 1,604 students in nine municipalities of three departments of the Colombian Amazon in 2022, representing more than 5 percent of the students in the three departments. The statistical methodology used consisted of on-site data collection in the students' classrooms. The questions focused on what are the main means by which students get information, how they interact with information and what are their information contrasting skills they have. The results show that students prefer social networks for information. In first place is Facebook and, in second place, is TikTok. The study presents figures on the levels of trust they have for the media and social networks in general and the agenda items they are most interested in. These findings highlight the need to adopt media and information education programs in basic secondary and middle school education

Palabras clave : information consumption; disinformation; media education; high school; middle school students.
