“…Importantly, the students must show positive attitude and approach towards the use of ICT tools in order to further the course of education in higher institutions of learning. Despite the fact that numerous studies (Sipilä, 2009;European Commission, 2013;Shaukenova, 2016;García-Martínez et al, 2020;Guillén-Gámez et al, 2020) have shown that most students exhibit favourable attitudes and high expectations (Courtois et al, 2014) regarding the use of ICT tools in education, there are still certain flaws on the part of the learners such as lack of coordination, control and adverse peer influence, that call for attention.…”

In the past, especially in underdeveloped countries, Information & Communication Technology (ICT) tools in higher education institutions were underutilized. But the unanticipated Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) disaster, has forced everyone in the world to rely on ICT resources for education. This paper discusses the need to intensify the use of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) tools in higher education institutions by thoroughly exploiting the COVID-19 global state of emergency. The study assesses the value of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) resources in academic institutions. More so, the study goes into further detail about the contributions of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) resources in higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a scoping review was chosen in selecting previous studies related to the field of current research. The findings of this study revealed that the applications of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) tools are essential for educational advancement; that it significantly accelerated education process during the pandemic. The study’s findings also revealed that there are several key factors that can help intensify the use of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) tools in higher education institutions.

“…Studies have also compared attitudes towards ICT as a function of sex, although there is little agreement in the results. Some studies [42] found more positive attitudes in men in the cognitive and behavioral components, whereas other studies differ, finding higher, more significant scores from women [23,43]. In any case, it is important to look at this topic more deeply, and especially to consider specific aspects of the Costa Rican setting, where significant efforts are being made to encourage women to do technological and scientific courses, and to increase their employability in these sectors [44].…”

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are being used more and more as part of teaching processes in both formal and informal settings. In this regard, it is important to understand university students’ attitudes towards using ICT as they will shortly form part of the productive sector of society. The aim of this study was to analyze student attitudes during their final years pursuing various degrees at a university in Costa Rica. We used a non-experimental transactional design and probabilistic sampling that involved 1187 students. We used a questionnaire containing a Likert-type scales to measure attitudes, which was structured according to affective, cognitive, and behavioral components. The results showed positive attitudes in general, with higher scores in the cognitive and behavioral components, and moderate scores in the affective component. In addition, we found differences in attitudes according to sex, prior training in technology, and academic performance.

Numerous studies of the digitalization of higher education show that university students’ attitudes toward digital educational technologies (DETs) are one of the important psychological factors that can hinder or facilitate the optimal implementation of digital technologies in education. International researchers have developed many tools for diagnosing the attitudes of university students toward various aspects of the digitalization of education; however, until recently, similar scales in Russian have not been developed, which determined the purpose of this present research. The proposed version of the Attitudes towards DETs Scale for University Students (ATDETS-US) includes the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral subscales corresponding components of the attitude according to the ACB Model. The validation sample included 317 (160 females and 157 males) bachelor and master students from different Russian universities. Psychometric testing using Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega coefficients, hierarchical factor analysis, and CFA confirm the high internal consistency, reliability of the ATDETS-US and its subscales, and the good fit of the model. ATDETS-US will be used for obtaining reliable data on the attitudes towards DETs in university students, which should be taken into account when designing programs for their psychological support in the educational process and developing their digital competence.
