L'impact des technologies de l'information et de la communication sur les performances des étudiants

Abstract

Most research on the influence of ICT on students' results and future professional insertion is carried out in the field of educational science. The authors of this article consider, however, that the educational science approach is too limited, and add an economic dimension to it. Their case study of a group of economics students encompasses the academic environment, the socio-economic context, and students' personal characteristics. One of their conclusions is the necessity to rethink evaluation models and the force of complementarity between traditional teaching and technology mediated teaching -assuming that the teachers' engagement is equal.

L’utilisation de ressources numériques en début de premier cycle universitaire : profils individuels et déterminants liés aux ressources

“…La place des ressources sur support numérique à l'université a déjà été étudiée dans de nombreuses contributions, sous divers angles. On peut citer par exemple Arthaud (2006), Ben Abid-Zarrouk (2012), Trestini (2012) ou encore Collin, Pellerin, Blanchard, Cordelier et Saffari (2018), qui s'intéressent aux obstacles pouvant freiner la non-adoption, par les enseignants, des TIC en tant qu'outil pédagogique, ou Dahmani et Ragni (2009) et Michaut et Roche (2017), qui étudient leur influence sur la réussite des étudiants. Nous nous situons d'une certaine manière à un niveau intermédiaire à ces analyses.…”

ICT Use, Digital Skills and Students’ Academic Performance: Exploring the Digital Divide

“…Some authors highlight that the forms of learning that result from the intensive use of the Internet are believed to be the origins of stronger involvement of students in their work [5,54]. They feel more inclined to study when assisted by educational resources available on the Internet or supported by ICTs.…”

“…Against this background, the impact of ICTs on the academic performance of students has become the subject of numerous debates involving economists and education scientists [4][5][6][7]. The literature mainly examines why an increase in performance (in particular, higher examination marks) might be attributable to use of ICTs in higher education [8][9][10].…”

Digital Uses of Students and College Success

“…and that they were content with standard technological tools (email, word processor, slideshow). Dahmani and Ragni (2009) investigated, for their part, to measure the effects of information and communication technologies on student performance. More specifically, the authors attempted to explain the performance of a sample of 146 undergraduate students in economics by their degree in technological skill, their use of digital technology, and their socioeconomic status.…”
