This study extends previous research on higher education (HE) students’ media usage, considering attitudes towards digital media and exploring gender and subject-related differences. Data is based on a standardised online survey conducted from May to July 2018 at four German universities (n = 1684). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify a typology of media-usage patterns and attitudes, based on the average frequency of usage of different media applications (such as e-books, communication tools, study-related online tools etc.), attitudes towards digital media according to several dimensions (e.g. curiosity/interest and scepticism) and selfassessed skills regarding for example media technology, literature databases and research, and programming. The resulting types of media users were then analysed in terms of relationships with gender, study subjects and digital media self-efficacy. The results of this explorative study provide further insights into media use in HE, based on current data and for a diverse student sample, and allow for in-depth follow up research.

In order to cope with the changing environment of education, the academic establishments must understand and analyze media behaviour of students [4]. Our research is devoted to the habits of use of social networks and messengers by students.…”

The authors draw the conclusion that the appliance of social networks in educational process is the response to the challenges of student media behavior, characterizing the contemporary social reality, and it allows solving the task of individualization of study space, which is one of the main tendencies of the education of 21 st century.
