The University

The study investigates Universities’ students use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for leaning and a comparison between book and ICT in obtaining knowledge. The study highlights public and private universities students banking on ICT for seeking knowledge and information. Besides, the study focuses on the facilitation and acquiring gratification from ICT in terms of entertainment, socialization, and scholastic achievement. The results show that student seek greater knowledge from ICT than the book. Similarly, they get quick information from ICT than the noticeboard. The use of ICT also gratifies them for entertainment, socialization, and scholastic achievement. Moreover, the study does not find significant difference among the students of public and private universities for seeking knowledge from ICT.

The Individual

The 21st century is referred to as the digital age, which places demands not only on the ability to work with information but also on being able to understand them as well as evaluate its relevance. The aim of this paper was to find out how ICT competences affect the individual domains of critical thinking in university students. The sample consisted of 624 university students. The data were collected using the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI) and the Information and Communication Technology Competence (ICTC). The results of the correlation analyses revealed weak to medium relationships among all of the observed domains. The subsequent linear regression models showed that all of the domains of critical thinking were affected by ICT competences. In this context, the most interesting was the effect of ICT competences on open mindedness while the effect on the remaining factors of critical thinking was weaker.   Keywords:  critical thinking; CTDI; ICTC; information and communication technology; university students

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented need for information and communication technology (ICT), which has allowed university studies to continue in an online different environment, because social isolation is compulsory. This article designed and validated an instrument to assess the use of ICT and its effect on the wellbeing of Ecuadorian university students. A theoretical framework was constructed based on documentary analysis. A draft questionnaire considered students’ and experts’ suggestions. A pilot questionnaire was then validated with a 1,952 students sample. Finally, a reliability instrument was proposed that can be used in studies of similar situations and is able to investigate the relationship between students' wellbeing and ICT during the learning process. The questionnaire analysis revealed that not all of the world’s educational systems are prepared to take on the challenge of online classes, and not all students’ are equipped with conditions needed to participate in online distance education.</p>

Practical Implications

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
