Primary and Secondary Education students’ perspectives on the school use of ICT
Abstract
This article reports on the beliefs and opi-nions that the students of primary and
secondary education have regarding the
pedagogical use of Information and Com-
munication Technologies (ICT) in schools.
For this, a survey study was designed in
which an online questionnaire designed
ad hoc was used as the instrument for data
collection. The sample consisted of more
than 4,000 students from all the Canary
Islands. We found significant differences
regarding the educational stage, gender
and the availability of technologies in the
students’ homes. We concluded that the
vast majority of students of Primary and
Secondary Education are a generation
familiar with digital technology, which is
motivated and demands the continued use
of ICT in schools, although it maintains a
critical vision of the school tasks develo-
ped with them and of the degree of digital
competence of its teaching staff.
