Investigating opinions on ICT use in higher education

This article presents research results on attitudes of students’ towards the use of ICT in the education process. The analyses were conducted against the backdrop of the students’ subjective assessment of their general computer aptitude as well as their access to and use of ICT. The results prove that students’ opinions on the wider use of ICT in the learning process was influenced by a subjective assessment of their general computer skills which was determined e.g. by their specialization as well as demographic characteristics. Access to a computer/Internet influenced their familiarity with some applications and online activities. The results confirm that students with a higher appraisal of their competence were more positively inclined towards a wider use of ICT than those with lower levels of competence.
