Yau, Hon Keung; Cheng, Alison Lai Fong
Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, v11 n3 p308-311 Jul 2012
Some past studies find that older students have more confidence in using technology for learning than younger students but some other studies find the opposite result. However, it is found that there are a few researches studying on the age difference in the perception of using technology for learning in Hong Kong. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the age difference of confidence in using technology for learning in the Hong Kong higher educational institutions. In this study, it employed a survey methodology to collect a total of 211 questionnaires from one of the universities in Hong Kong. The findings show that older students had more confidence in using technology for learning than younger students. (Contains 3 tables.)
