AbstractBackground: The term digital natives refer to those born since the 1980s and have been growing up surrounded by technology. On the other hand, digital immigrants are born before 1980s and learned how to use technology later in life. Objectives: Goal of the paper is to explore attitudes of digital native students on the course of Business Informatics at higher educational institutions (HEIs), and to compare them with attitudes of digital immigrants. Methods/Approach: The survey was conducted in 2014 using the sample of first-year Business Informatics students from the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zagreb, Croatia. Results were compared with a research conducted in 1998. Results: In comparison to an earlier research, digital natives perceive their level of competency in the subject of Business Informatics before teaching practices much higher compared to digital immigrants. However, there is still an increase in digital native students’ level of competency in the subject before and after teaching practices. Conclusions: The research confirms a shift from digital immigrants to digital natives who show high level of interest for Business Informatics course topics and find its utility very high. However, constant improvement of delivering knowledge is needed in order to keep these high levels.

The Impact

Purpose This research paper aims to identify and measure the contribution of the financial safety act (FSA) regulation in improving the level of financial disclosure of listed Tunisian firms. To answer the problems of the subject, the authors tried to hold accountable several determinants of the level of financial disclosure relating to the particular characteristics of the firm, and the adoption of the recommendations envisaged by the FSA, as likely to have an impact on the level of financial disclosure of Tunisian firms. Design/methodology/approach With a sample composed by 20 companies during the period from 2003 to 2010 (160 observations), the contribution of the FSA regulation in improving the level of financial disclosure of listed Tunisian firms was identified and measured. After that, the levels of financial disclosure before and after the FSA were compared. Findings The study results confirm the positive and significant effect of the FSA on the level of financial disclosure. This impact seems to appear through the improvement of the disclosure level during the years which follow the adoption of the new regulation. The results of this study also show that firms with a high level of financial disclosure are those which have an independent board of directors, auditor BIG and joint audit. Originality/value This paper is devoted to evaluate the impact of the FSA n°2005-96 and corporate governance on the level of financial disclosure. The empirical study relates to a sample of 20 firms listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange observed over the period 2003-2010.

Dominasi interaksi warga di dunia digital masih menyisakan ketidaksetaraan antar generasi. Walau data menunjukkan dari 268 juta penduduk Indonesia, terdapat 355 juta pengguna seluler (133%). Dimana 91% mengakses informasi melalui ponsel, mayoritas interaksi digital ini berasal digital native. Digital natives (17-34 tahun) adalah generasi yang lahir berdampingan dengan perkembangan teknologi. Sedang digital immigrants (45-65 tahun) lahir sebelum teknologi digital berkembang pesat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik dua kali wawancara dengan FGD dengan 55 orang responden. Ke 55 responden berasal dari digital natives (20) dan digital immigrants (35). Teknik wawancara menggunakan tidak terstruktur. Dengan analisis data bersifat deskriptif. Penelitian ini menemukan adanya misinterpretasi kompetensi digital, terutama dalam konsumsi informasi hoaks. Dibandingkan dengan generasi digital immigrant dalam mengkonsumsi berita, digital natives menunjukkan ketimpangan schemata dalam mengenali informasi digital. Kedua generasi masih mudah terprovokasi dengan kandungan emosional hoaks. Terjadi kendala untuk digital natives merubah kondisi sosial atas persebaran berita hoaks (digital divide). Pola patron-client menjadi salah satu penyebab hoaks menjadi informasi yang dipercaya juga oleh digital natives.

Control Exercise

Twenty-five members of a class of 45 medical students preparing for final examinations were voluntary participants in a pre-examination stress-control exercise conducted four weeks before the start of examinations. The students completed short questionnaires before and after reading the typewritten script of a counselling session of a member of their class (the sentinel subject). In the pre-script questionnaires, 50% of the men and 35% of the women reported a high level of stress. On the post-script questionnaire, 68% identified with the subject being counselled. Only four persons (16%) reported a reduction in stress after reading the script and one person recorded an increase in stress. Seventy-two per cent of respondents (40% of students) indicated that they would use counselling services if they were available. The present study suggests that some form of counselling could be usefully included in distance education modules. The provision of counselling services before examinations may prevent failure. The remote approach by sentinel subject script is an inexpensive method of providing such a service.

Computer Self Efficacy

Generational differences in the workplace have been the subject of much discussion for the field of management. In many cases, the technology savvy of the youngest generation in the workplace, coined “digital natives,” is the motivation behind organizational decision-making. However, little empirical evidence exists as to whether it is their comfort and confidence using technology that truly sets digital natives apart from their generational predecessors known as “digital immigrants.” Work values, those areas of importance that enhance satisfaction and engagement in the workplace, are rooted in the belief that there is a structure to basic human values. This study connects the theories of work values, generational differences, and computer self-efficacy to investigate if computer self-efficacy interacts with digital native status to influence differences in work values.

Different Levels

The majority of museum experts have agreed that museums are informal learning environments, however, most of the previous studies on digital learning have focused on formal education institutions instead of informal environments. Hence, adapting the new fast-changing technology in museum learning has become one of the major challenges for the digital native and digital immigrant populations due to their different learning styles. These two generations have different levels of thinking patterns, experiences, and digital exposure that lead to different levels of technology accessibility in the learning environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the preferred learning styles of museum visitors in the Malaysian context based on the learning styles of digital natives and digital immigrants. A total of 265 respondents participated in this study representing the population of N=792 at the Malaysian music museum in the data collection process. These descriptive results on the cross-tabulation analysis from the survey indicated that most of the visitors preferred the digital natives’ learning styles compared to the digital immigrants’, regardless of personal factors (gender, age, nationality, education level, or occupation). Thus, museum institutions should take the necessary steps to enhance or maintain the learning approach for digital natives with elements of entertainment and fun, provide internet connection, less text, out of school environment, digital use, and multi-task activities for skills enhancement. The minority of digital immigrants are suggested to assimilate and become part of the digital native group to stay relevant in this digital era.

Structured Questionnaire

The widespread use of digital technologies by digital natives has put a considerable amount of pressure on their educators, who are mostly digital immigrants, to recognize the relevance of digital connectivity, learn new ways of thinking and processing information of the digital natives, and integrate it into their teaching environments. The current study looks into these aspects while discussing the technology usage and practice of digital immigrant educators in higher education. A survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire on the technology usage and teaching strategies implemented by the digital immigrant educators to teach digital natives in higher education. The findings reported that digital immigrant educators must be accustomed to the a) diverse needs of digital native students and b) use and applications of digital technologies in order to create and practice interactive and collaborative teaching environments.

Prensky calls the generation which was born after the 1980s and into this culture the digital natives, and he calls the generation which was born before the 1980s the digital immigrants. Digital natives are the ones who were born into technological development, grew up with technology, were educated with technology, and use technology very much. However, Prensky's differentiation has been criticized for being strict and his attitude has been criticized for being technology lover. Prensky accepts the intensive interest of the children towards technology and that's why he claims that they learn from technology. With this point of view, a critical perspective will be shown towards Prensky's digital immigrant and digital native terms, and e-learning of the children in this digital culture will be observed in this study. For this purpose, related approaches and studies have been scanned.
