The advancement of technology in recent years seems to be prompting a re-ontologising of the world. Digital technology is transforming the educational spaces we inhabit, as well as our way of processing information. Although there are already numerous studies that have addressed this technological reality, only a handful have done so from a theoretical perspective. That is why we present research that seeks to reinforce the latest theoretical contributions for understanding how modern technology may be affecting the way in which knowledge is built. Based on the latest research in social constructivism, this is a qualitative study designed to contribute to the creation of a specific theoretical framework for an onlife world. An ill-structured task and a semi-structured interview were used to observe the use of the thinking skills that enable us to build knowledge and the relationship between them. The results show that the ways of building knowledge are changing, as digital technology fosters the use of higher-order thinking skills that, furthermore, operate in a chaotic, complex, and unpredictable manner. In conclusion, this study upholds the notion that the ways of building knowledge are changing, but we still need more empirical contributions to create a generally accepted theoretical construct for explaining how we build knowledge through digital technology.

近年来，科技的进步似乎正在推动对世界的重新本体化。数字技术正在改变我们居住的教育空间，以及我们处理信息的方式。尽管已经有大量研究解决了这一技术现实，但只有少数研究是从理论角度进行的。这就是为什么我们提出的研究旨在加强最新的理论贡献，以了解现代技术如何影响知识的构建方式。基于社会建构主义的最新研究，这是一项定性研究，旨在为生命世界的特定理论框架的创建做出贡献。使用结构不良的任务和半结构化访谈来观察使我们能够建立知识的思维技能的使用以及它们之间的关系。结果表明，构建知识的方式正在发生变化，因为数字技术促进了高阶思维技能的使用，而且这些技能以混乱、复杂和不可预测的方式运作。总之，本研究坚持构建知识的方式正在发生变化的观点，但我们仍然需要更多的经验贡献来创建一个普遍接受的理论结构来解释我们如何通过数字技术构建知识。以混乱、复杂和不可预测的方式运作。总之，本研究坚持构建知识的方式正在发生变化的观点，但我们仍然需要更多的经验贡献来创建一个普遍接受的理论结构来解释我们如何通过数字技术构建知识。以混乱、复杂和不可预测的方式运作。总之，本研究坚持构建知识的方式正在发生变化的观点，但我们仍然需要更多的经验贡献来创建一个普遍接受的理论结构来解释我们如何通过数字技术构建知识。
