Since our first studies of information and communications technology (ICT) skills and ICT use at universities in 2004, ICT and its use by students has changed greatly. In order to obtain a more detailed picture of ICT skills, we first construct a new instrument to measure the self-perception of ICT skills (49 items) and of ICT use (53 items) by students. This allows us to find some patterns for ICT skills and ICT use. In order to explain these patterns, two basic hypotheses are formulated. The first suggests that positive ICT learning experiences at home, in school, and with peers could contribute to mastering a higher level of ICT skills and more frequent use of ICT among bachelor’s students, a hypothesis that aligns with Dewey’s learning theory. The second hypothesis suggests that there is a similarity between the characteristics of information systems and scientific research, and that students who identify more with scientific research would be more likely to have greater ICT skills and a higher frequency of ICT use. Both hypotheses are tested among bachelor’s students, using some important contextual variables (gender, domain of study, ICT course in secondary school or at university, and education level of parents). It can be concluded that there is a relationship between the ICT learning experience and the research-oriented identity commitment of bachelor’s students on the one hand, and their command of ICT skills and the frequency of use of computers, ICT instruments, and ICT programs on the other. 相似文献

Do ICT skills of freshmen change in 6 months at the university? What is the contribution of learning styles (or patterns)
to the explanation of the variance in self-perceived ICT skills and the possible change in these skills? And what is the contribution
of learning styles and of gender, social class, and ICT course attendance to the explanation of the variance in these skills?
To answer these questions, data were collected in a panel research project that recruited 714 freshmen at a large Belgian
university. The data show that the ability of the students to maintain a computer and to develop a website improves at the
university but not the ability to use the Internet or to apply basic ICT skills. The analyses show that there is a link, albeit
weak, between learning styles and self-perceived ICT skills. Learning styles can partially explain differences between groups
of students with different characteristics. The data show that having a certain learning style might influence the perception
of students of their ICT skill, but learning styles do not allow one to predict the change in the self-perceived ICT skills
of the students. 相似文献

In the last decade, ICT use has expanded enormously in most Western countries. In line with this development, we hypothesised
that freshmen at university would not only have mastered more ICT skills, but would also use computers more often than their
counterparts of 5 years previously. To compare students’ opinions and behaviour between 2005 and 2009, responses to two online
questionnaires (N = 714 in 2005 and N = 1529 in 2009) offered at a large university were compared. The main variables of the Technology Acceptance Model (as well
as facilitating factors, study motivation and some contextual variables) were used as predictors to explore the possible changes
between 2005 and 2009 in the mastering of 19 ICT skills, and the frequency of the use of computers for six different tasks.
The results of the study show that freshmen became more proficient in some ICT skills, while proficiency in other skills did
not change or even dropped. Gender is still an important factor to predict ICT skills and the frequency of using computers,
but it is shown that for some skills female students have caught up with their male counterparts. 相似文献
