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.

Introduction. This paper examines the information literacy self-efficacy of undergraduate students at provincial universities in Cambodia, and to determine whether there are significant differences in information literacy self-efficacy in terms of sex, academic year, faculty and university. Method. We adapted the information literacy self-efficacy skills survey by Kurbanoglu and administered to 1,009 undergraduate students at three public provincial universities to measure their confidence on information literacy. Analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics using independent sample t-test (t-test) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyse the responses. Results. The results indicated that the information literacy self-efficacy of provincial universities in Cambodia was low as the mean scores were lower than the midpoint value of the original scale. Significant differences were also observed across the faculties and universities. This study revealed no significant difference of information literacy self-efficacy between male and female students. However, significant difference was observed between universities due to the performance of infrastructures and supporting funds. Conclusions. The findings indicated that undergraduate students at the provincial universities in Cambodia exhibited low confidence in information literacy. Policy making on information and communication technologies should be well implemented to provide practical skills to students from first to fourth year.

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.

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.

ResumenPara los jóvenes las tareas universitarias entran en conflicto con las actividades de tiempo libre y ocio, estas últimas suelen ser sacrificadas. Este estudio tiene como propósito conocer a qué actividades como Uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), la actividad físico-deportiva y, el consumo de actividades culturales, dedican la mayor parte del tiempo libre los jóvenes universitarios, de lunes a viernes, fines de semana y periodo de vacaciones. La población objeto de estudio la constituyen 1,580 estudiantes de Educación Superior de la Universidad de Guadalajara, México, donde el 52.5% son mujeres y el 47.5% hombres. Se puede comprobar que los estudiantes dedican la mayor parte del tiempo libre al Uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), que asocia con actividades de ocio pasivo, de lunes a viernes; Donde las actividades de consumo cultural, que relaciona con actividades de relación social y diversión, será para fines de semana y periodo de vacaciones. Al parecer las actividades físicas y deportivas no suelen ser prioridad para estos jóvenes durante el tiempo libre en los tres periodos temporales. A sabiendas de los problemas que afrontan los jóvenes, se requiere de políticas públicas más acordes para la ocupación del tiempo libre. En caso contrario, toda acción o política pública, conducirá al fracaso.AbstractFor students, university duties could conflict with free time activities, these latter are often sacrificed. The purpose of this research is to know in what type of activities, including the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), physical-sports activity and the consumption of cultural activities, most of the university students spend their free time from Monday to Friday, weekends and holidays. The population under research, consists of 1580 higher education students from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, where 52.5% are women and 47.5% are men. Statistical data indicates that students dedicate most of their free time to the use of ICT’s (passive leisure activities), mainly from Monday to Friday, while cultural consumption activities (social relationship and amusement activities) occur during weekends and holiday periods. It seems that physical and sports activities are not usually a priority for these students during their free time in the three time periods. Public policies need to be more responsive to the needs of young university students for free or leisure time. Otherwise, any public action or policy will lead to failure.

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.
