Assessment of digital competence and attitudes towards ict of university students
Abstract
The aim of this research study was to assess university students´ digital competence and explore their attitudes towards ICT. We used a descriptive quantitative research design, and administered a previously validated questionnaire to a sample of 101 e-learning and face-to-face Psychopedagogy students at the University of Extremadura, Spain. The results showed students lacked adequate digital competence, but had a positive attitude towards ICT. A significant relationship between attitudes and ICT skills, as well as a good attitude towards ICT of e-learning students were identified.
