The digital literacy debate: an investigation of digital propensity and information and communication technology

Abstract: Research suggests students' use of information and communication technology (ICT) may be more a matter of digital literacy and access rather than a generational trait. We sought to identify ICT preferences of post-secondary students (N = 580) through a Digital Propensity Index (DPI), investigating communication methods, Internet practices and the creation of online content. Age, gender and socioeconomic status were examined as factors which might explain why students use ICT. Results suggest age is a factor in… Show more

“…We need to consider the implications of changing roles when examining the development and use of nontraditional learning tools. The overestimation of students' capacity to use the technology provided appropriately (Kvavik 2005;Nasah et al 2010) is an area of particular concern and a possible confounding factor in how the resources in our study were applied. Furthermore, lack of appropriate technical support for distance students studying online is a major contributor to attrition (Rovai and Downey 2010) and a common criticism noted by distance students at our institution.…”

“…Bahkan, di dalam kelompok have sendiri bisa terjadi perbedaan dan kesenjangan digital. Kesenjangan digital bisa disebabkan karena faktor-faktor demografis (misalnya umur, gender, dan status sosial) atau disebut dengan first digital divide (Nasah, DaCosta, Kinsell, & Seok, 2010). Sedangkan kesenjangan digital yang disebabkan karena perbedaan motivasi dan keterampilan menggunakan perangkat TIK disebut dengan second-digital divide (Min, 2010).…”

“…Bertolak dari hasil riset-riset kesenjangan digital sebelumnya (Azmi, 2006;Santos, Azevedo, & Pedro, 2013;Bayrak & Yurdugül, 2013;Kiss & Gastelú, 2015;Bediang et al, 2013;Kingsley & Kingsley, 2009;Norishah, Shariman, Razak, & Mohd. Nor, 2012;Jara et al, 2015;Ivanković, Špiranec, & Miljko, 2013;Nasah, DaCosta, Kinsell, & Seok, 2010;Min, 2010), peneliti mengidentifikasi variabel dan indikator sebagai berikut: jumlah kepemilikan perangkat TIK, frekuensi penggunaan perangkat TIK; jenis penggunaan perangkat TIK; jenis layanan provider yang dimanfaatkan, biaya komunikasi yang dikeluarkan, tiga situs yang paling sering dikunjungi, dan tempat favorit bermain internet. Sedangkan, literasi digital, mengadopsi argumentasi Stoke (2008) digital, melakukan komunikasi secara online, menjelajah dan mencari informasi online secara efektif dan efisien, berkolaborasi dengan orang lain secara online, dan memanfaatkan e-commerce.…”

“…El aprovechamiento de la tecnología para generar una cultura participativa, requiere el desarrollo de competencias como: colaboración en red, creatividad, ciudadanía y comunicación dentro de una gran cantidad de modos y medios (Dawson & Siemens, 2014), de manera que la alfabetización mediática favorece la ciudadanía con un rol más proactivo en la sociedad (Bujokas & Rothberg, 2014). Las sociedades del futuro estarán conformadas cada vez más por individuos que estando ubicados en contextos sociales, culturales diferentes, podrán entablar relaciones y sistemas de normas compartidos, el uso de la tecnología de la información y la comunicación es una cuestión de cultura digital y acceso, no un rasgo generacional (Nasah, DaCosta, Kinsell & Seok, 2010) que requiere habilidades y atributos para navegar en los mundos cada vez más complejos de lo social, cultural, tecnológico y económico (Dawson & Siemens, 2014). Otra arista es la de desarrollar conocimiento y conceptualizaciones sobre las nuevas formas posibles y más adecuadas a un entendimiento humano.…”
