The aim of vocational education is to produce employees who are ready to work, a characteristic of vocational education is through the implementation of apprenticeship. In the period 2010-2015 in Indonesia the labor force declined from vocational schools compared to senior high schools. This indicates the need for 21st century skill is called a tool for work, namely the skill to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This article is intended to find out the relationship between apprenticeship and ICT in vocational students who carry out apprenticeship in the province of West Java. From the instrument distributed in 520 samples, it was found that there is a relationship between apprenticeship training and ICT through the value of Zcount = 7.16 > Ztable = 2.58, with the coefficient of determination of (ry)2 = (0.315)2 = 0.0992. This shows that apprenticeship contributions affect ICT skill by 9.92% for students who carry out apprenticeship in the West Java province of Indonesia, while 90.08% is influenced by other factors.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are key to create sustainable higher education institutions (HEIs). Most researchers focused on the students’ perspective, especially during the online teaching caused by COVID-19; however, university teachers are often forgotten, having their opinion missing. This study’s objective was to determine the factors that contribute to the inclusion of ICTs. The research based on a comparative study through an online qualitative survey focused on the inclusion and use of ICTs in two HEIs and two different moments (pre-and post-lockdowns). There were differences regarding country and working experience (p < 0.001), being linked to the ICTs use, evaluation of obstacles, and the role given to ICTs (p < 0.05). The COVID-19 caused modifications of the teachers’ perspectives, including an improvement of the opinion of older teachers regarding the essentialness of ICTs in the teaching process (p < 0.001) and worsening their perception about their ICTs skill (p < 0.05). Additionally, an initial model focused only on the university teachers and their use of ICTs has been proposed. In conclusion, the less experienced university teachers used more ICTs, identified more greatly the problematic factors, and considered more important the ICTs, with the perception of all teachers modified by COVID-19.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in higher education for imparting easily accessible, affordable and quality higher education leading to the uplift of Malaysia. The focus of the paper is on the benefits that ICT integration in education can provide, right from breaking time and distance barriers to facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing among geographically distributed students. ICT increases the flexibility of delivery of education so that learners can access knowledge anytime and anywhere. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn as now the processes are learner driven and not by teachers. This in turn would better prepare the learners for lifelong learning as well as to contribute to the industry. We will also analyze if ICT does indeed improve or hinder the quality of learning among higher education students. This paper reports on the changing trends in use of ICTs for instruction in higher education institutions (HEIs) and discusses a mini-case study of how ICTs are being used by lecturers in one university in Malaysia.

The article is devoted to the methodological problem of the use of information and communication technologies in the system of higher education. The formation of new models of educational activities with the wide use of information and communication technologies is the main component of the modernization of education. In addition, modern higher education is faced with the task of training students in accordance with federal state educational standards. The task requires the search for new technologies for the organization of educational activities. One of these technologies is the WebQuest technology, which can be aimed at solving the problem of effective professional training of students. As a solution to this problem, didactic possibilities and conditions for using the WebQuest technology have been identified and described.

El ser humano siempre ha puesto su curiosidad e ingenio para mejorar su calidad de vida, siendo la comunicación una de las áreas más destacadas debido a su notable rol socializador. La convergencia de los avances en electrónica, informática y comunicaciones transmutó en la telemática y en la creación de la Internet, que ha interconectado al mundo y todos los ámbitos del acontecer social. La educación, proceso netamente social, ha sido impactada por el advenimiento de la Internet desde la década de los noventa, modificando no sólo el tipo de recursos utilizados en el proceso didáctico de facilitación y adquisición de aprendizajes, por sus dos actores protagónicos: docentes y estudiantes, respectivamente; sino también, la cultura de las instituciones educativas, las cuales como en el caso Venezolano, por imperio de la ley, deben incorporar en su misión y planes de desarrollo organizacional, las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). Transcurridas dos décadas de haber sido establecido como prioridad el uso de la internet en las instituciones educativas, ergo en las Universidades Venezolanas, en el presente artículo se analizan, bajo la visión de los mundos Popperianos (Popper, 1986), dos instituciones universitarias, una pública y otra privada; para determinar si el uso didáctico de las TIC responde a una expectativa o a una aspiración y si ésta, es personal o institucional. Se evidenció una insatisfacción de la expectativa legal decantada en una aspiración institucional, dada la existencia de una generalizada predisposición negativa de docentes y estudiantes hacia el uso de las TIC como recurso para mediar procesos didácticos en la sociedad actual, lo cual resalta el importante papel del componente afectivo personal, en este caso la afectividad digital (Goncalves, 2015), para el logro de las metas que sobre dicho uso se plantea una institución de educación universitaria.Palabras clave: TIC, Uso Didáctico, Educación Universitaria, Afectividad Digital.Uso Didático das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação nas Universidades: aspiração ou expectativa?ResumoO ser humano sempre colocou sua curiosidade e engenho para melhorar sua qualidade de vida, sendo a comunicação uma das áreas mais destacadas devido ao seu notável papel socializador. A convergência dos avanços em eletrônica, informática e comunicações, transmutou-se em telemática e na criação da Internet, que interconectou o mundo e todas as áreas de eventos sociais. A educação, um processo puramente social, tem sido impactada pelo advento da Internet desde os anos noventa, modificando não apenas o tipo de recursos utilizados no processo didático de facilitação e aquisição de aprendizagem, por seus dois principais atores: professores e estudantes, respectivamente; mas também a cultura das instituições de ensino, que, como no caso venezuelano, por imperativo da lei, deve incorporar as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) em sua missão e planos de desenvolvimento organizacional. Duas décadas após de ter sido establecido como una prioridade o uso da Internet nas instituições de ensino, portanto nas universidades venezuelanas, neste artigo analisamos, baixo a visão dos mundos Popperianos (Popper, 1986), duas instituições universitárias, uma pública e outra privada; para determinar se o uso didático das TIC responde a uma expectativa ou aspiração, e se é pessoal ou institucional. Foi encontrada uma insatisfação com a expectativa legal estabelecida em uma aspiração institucional, dada a existência de uma predisposição negativa generalizada de professores e estudantes para o uso das TIC como recurso para mediar processos didáticos na sociedade atual, destacando o importante papel do componente afetivo pessoal, neste caso da afetividade digital (Goncalves, 2015), para a consecução dos objetivos que sobre esse uso surge duma instituição de ensino universitário.Palavras chave: TIC, Uso Didático, Educação Universitária, Afetividade Digital.Didactic Usage of Information and Communication Technologies in Universities: ¿aspiration or expectation?AbstractHuman being has always been curious with all its wit about improving its quality of life, being communication one of the most featured areas due to its remarkable socializing role. The convergence of advances in Electronics, Informatic and Communications transmuted into Telematic and the creation of Internet, which has interconnected the world and all social environments. Education, truly a social process, has been impacted by the arrival of the Internet since the 90s, modifying not only the type of resources used in the didactic process of facilitation and acquisition of knowledge involving their two main protagonists: teachers and students, respectively; but also the culture of the educational institutions, which, in the Venezuelan case, by law, must incorporate in their mission and organizational developing plans, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). After two decades of establishing the use of Internet as a priority in educational institutions, mostly in Venezuelan universities, in the present article two higher education institutions are analyzed using the Popperian vision (Popper, 1986): one private and one public; to determine if the didactic usage of ICT responds to an expectation or to an aspiration, and as such, if it is personal or institutional. A dissatisfaction of the legal expectation was evidenced, which turned in an institutional aspiration, due to the existence of a negative and general predisposition of teachers and students towards the use of ICT as resources for the mediation of didactic processes in today’s society, which highlights the important role of the personal affective component; in this case, digital affectivity (Goncalves, 2015) for the accomplishment of goals that a higher education institution has established.Keywords: ICT, Didactic Usage, Higher Education, Digital Affectivity.
