Predictors for Students’ and Teachers’ ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Literacy: Insights From an International Perspective

Sun, April 14, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Room 403

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Given that information and communications technology (ICT) is essential for youth and adolescents to participate effectively in a digital society, researchers have attempted to explain how to successfully promote students’ ICT literacy. Likewise, research on promoting teachers’ ICT literacy has also received great attention as teachers play an important role in promoting students’ ICT literacy. This symposium will provide results based on analyses of representative data from diverse cultural samples, thereby helping to understand how to promote students’ and teachers’ ICT literacy better. The three papers will address two central questions: (a) what school, family, and personal factors are beneficial for fostering students’ ICT literacy and (b) how teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and dispositions are related to their ICT literacy.
