Female Attitudes

The ubiquity of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in every school framework in the world has become a trend. With ASEAN integration problems in 2015, can fresh and younger HEI's and their students cope with this trend? The goal of this analysis is to decide the preparedness and role of new HEI students in the field of ICT education. In this study a concise template utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire (α=.971) was used. The research findings show that students at college have a optimistic declaration ('agreement') on ICT use in education (x=3.71; S=.75). This was also shown that sex greatly affects the mindset of students (z=3.91, p=.00), where male attitudes are higher (x=3.91) than female attitudes (x=3.61). Moreover, it demonstrates that preparedness for ICT in general has little to do with the mindset of students towards the usage of ICT in school. Nonetheless, there is a important marginal positive association between ICT access and an attitude of significance to 0.05 (r=.15; p=.002; single-tailed), which suggests that the more a student gets introduced to ICT, the more he develops his attitude to ICT education. It was believed that ICT-based curriculum can be readily adopted and modified for the next several years by complete ICT adoption as the current educational framework. Current and younger HEIs will also spend more in ICT Accessibility and Connectivity to further boost ICT-based awareness and preparedness.

The Way

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is today seen as a catalyst for change in the way work is carried out. Over the past decade there have been a number of studies examining both the decision-making behind ICT adoption (the driving forces for adoption) as well as the perceived benefits from that adoption. However, no studies have attempted to determine, or indeed map whether emphasis given to specific driving forces have manifested in differing perceptions of perceived benefits. The purpose of this chapter is to examine whether emphasis on particular driving forces for ICT adoption are associated with the perception of particular benefits. A study was undertaken amongst 198 Australian GPs. Results suggest that greater emphasis on improving communications gives rise to higher perceived benefits both in terms of communications and practice effectiveness, while emphasis on other drivers does not significantly alter the perception of benefits derived from adoption.

Open Content

This article explores the potential role of participatory or open content creation for development. It does so by examining ideas around voice and listening, and their relevance to the field of information and communication technology for development (ICT4D). It first explores participatory development and the idea of open ICT4D before elaborating on issues of voice as process, and as value. Research findings from a project in Asia that experimented with participatory content creation are discussed in relation to notions of voice. The research was concerned with the ways in which processes of voice might lead to wider social action and change. Findings are explored, and discussed in relation to the importance and challenges of ensuring that voice is valued through listening, and the implications of this for ICT4D.

Human Position

This article discusses the importance of ethical guidance and regulation on the change of world research climate supported by information and communication technology (ICT). The research has resulted in artificial intelligence and „super‟ human entities which are predicted to potentially cause damage and destruction of humans. In this context, human is placed as an information organism parallel to other information entity. Human is no longer a single entity as a center of reflection on a moral action. This research aimed to reflect on the ontology of Floridian information based on ontocentrism as the axiological footing of its information ethical theory. The method used was hermeneutics. The research findings showed that the reduction of human position creates human nervousness as a knowing subject. Therefore, ethical regulation is required on artificial agent construction effort as moral agent within the constellation of ethical actions in the information ecosystem.

In recent years, the construction sector has undergone impressive developments in the use of ICT. Thus, placing much demands on capacity building that will produce an adequate, highly skilled workforce to manage the growing technology in the industry. ICT takes the front role and essentially becomes the medium in which all the other operations are carriedout. Most researchers, thinkers and educators have taken up the challenge of using ICT since the 1980s with varied successes. For this reason, this paper assesses the extent to which ICT is used in the training of construction students in technical universities in Ghana. Quantitative method (questionnaire) was employed to elicit data from constructionlecturers and students in five technical universities in Ghana. Descriptive statistics and factor analysis were adopted in analyzing the data. The research discovered that ICT adoption in training construction students in Ghanaian technical universities is very low. The study also established twenty-four (24) factors as constraints to ICT usage in constructionstudents' training in technical universities in Ghana. These come under "technology constraints", "economic constraints", "human constraints", "environmental constraints," and "administrative constraints". There is, therefore, a pressing need for a drastic shift towards integrating Construction related ICT tools in training construction students inGhanaian technical universities. Citation: Ametepey, S.

Plant Level

This article investigates the plant-level characteristics that can affect plant-level productivity. Using Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) data from 1998–1999 to 2012–2013, we find that plant-level productivity is positively correlated with the number of products produced in the plant. It implies that the multi-product plants are relatively more productive than plants that produce only one product. We also find that plants are more productive if they enter the export market, and plant-level productivity is negatively associated with the ratio of production to non-production workers. This finding supports the fact that the plants with more skilled labour compared to unskilled labour are comparatively more productive. Additionally, we find that information and communication technology (ICT) has a significant and positive association with a plant’s productivity level.

The explosion in mobile phone subscription notwithstanding, benefits from ICT deployment are far from being realized in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). A clash between the rationality for development and local systems of reasoning, and the failure to cultivate behaviours that support technological innovation provide little hope for sustained information and communication technology (ICT) adoption in the region. The article discusses failures in technological innovation and then explores ways that SSA countries can manage ICT deployment to stimulate sustained adoption.

AbstractWeb-based Information and Communication Technology (ICT) applications offer benefits in managing interactions between stakeholders. As a result, schools are increasingly adopting them. Consequently, a holistic picture of the factors that contribute to ICT adoption and use in such settings is needed. Since
