Motivation can influence the success of the teaching-learning process. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is becoming more and more frequent. In fact, its presence is very engaging and may improve learning. This study is aimed at analysing the relation between university students' intrinsic motivation and their learning styles, where variables such as gender and the universities at which they study can be essential. For that purpose, the answers provided in both the IMI (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) questionnaire and the Felder and Silverman's Learning Style Inventory by a sample of 272 students from two different universities have been taken into account. The two questionnaires were completed online, allowing access from any device with an internet connection. Once the data obtained was analysed, a high correlation among the six dimensions of the motivation questionnaire was observed. Said correlation does not apply to Felder and Silverman's test, where there is little correspondence among the eight styles in the inventory. A clear relation between two learning styles (Visual and Reflective) and intrinsic motivation is also noted. It should be highlighted that on examination of the variables corresponding to the university where student study and the latter’s gender were examined, certain differences appeared, such as the prevalence of some learning styles in male participants.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

Abstract: Introduction: The challenges brought by the continuity of the university teaching-learning process in the face of the measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 made the debate on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in medical education more important. Several strategies were used by teachers worldwide to continue their teaching activities. Objective: to investigate the strategies and uses of ICT in medical education in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Five databases were systematically assessed, using the terms “COVID-19”, “medical education”, “higher education” and “students”, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, resulting in 321 initial citations, with 18 final references after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Four key topics were identified in the literature: (1) Challenges for Medical Education prior to COVID-19; (2) Challenges in migrating to remote education; (3) Strategies to overcome challenges related to the learning environment; and (4) Strategies to overcome challenges related to assessments and exams. Conclusion: The use of ICT in medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic showed to be especially important, with considerations regarding the improvement in areas that were already used, the migration of some more articulated areas and experiences in clinical and procedural disciplines. There was also concern about the impacts of using ICT to replace the in-person presence of students in medical learning environments.

The Relationship

Las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) suponen un cambio en los modos de aprendizaje del alumnado universitario. El propósito de este estudio es conocer la relación entre los enfoques de aprendizaje (superficial y profundo), el uso de las TIC (uso personal, uso académico no escolar y uso académico en el aula) y las competencias TIC (tecnológicas, pedagógicas y éticas) en alumnado universitario de titulaciones de Educación. Se trata de un estudio basado en un diseño correlacional, cuya muestra la constituyen 485 estudiantes de las titulaciones de grado de Pedagogía y de Educación Social de la Universidad de Valencia, seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico y accidental, recogiendo la información mediante dos cuestionarios. Los resultados señalan la existencia de un vínculo complejo entre las competencias TIC, el uso de las TIC y los enfoques de aprendizaje. Se ha de destacar la relación entre las competencias pedagógicas y las éticas, el uso académico no escolar y el enfoque profundo, así como la relación entre enfoque superficial y uso académico de las TIC en el aula. Por ello, se sugiere la necesidad de formar a los estudiantes en las competencias pedagógicas y éticas de las TIC, ya que si se hiciera se estaría fomentando el aprendizaje profundo. Information and communication technologies (ICT) represent a change in the ways of learning of university students. The purpose of this study is to know the relationship between learning approaches (superficial and deep), use of ICT (personal use, non-school academic use and academic use in the classroom) and ICT competences (technological, pedagogical and ethical) in university students of Education degrees. This is a study based on a correlational design, whose sample is made up of 485 students of the degrees of Pedagogy and Social Education at the University of Valencia, selected by non-probabilistic and accidental sampling, collecting the information through two questionnaires. The results indicate the existence of a complex link between ICT competences, use of ICT and learning approaches. The relationship between pedagogical and ethical competences, non-school academic use and an in-depth approach, and between a superficial approach and academic use of ICT in the classroom should be highlighted. Therefore, the need to train students in the pedagogical and ethical competences of ICT is stressed in order to encourage deep learning.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) gives another vision of language learning and provides learners a certain pleasure to deal with these languages. The current work aims at shedding light on the existing link between the use of ICT and the improvement of the quality of teaching languages at the university. We will articulate our research around the following questions: what are the implications of using ICT in the process of teaching/learning foreign languages? Does ICT provide more independence for the learner? As a hypothesis, we propose the following: ICT sharpens learners' willingness and desire to learn while facilitating their access to language and culture. It installs them in a report of independence thus favoring the acquisition of the skills. To report on this problem, we will rely on a survey conducted within the Center of Intensive Language Teaching of the University of Biskra, Algeria. We used a questionnaire, as a mean of investigation. We subjected our corpus to a quantitative analysis followed by a qualitative interpretative analysis.
