  • Student Perceived Effectiveness of Computer Technology Use in Post
    Computers & Education 47 (2006) 465–489 www.elsevier.com/locate/compedu Student perceived effectiveness of computer technology use in post-secondary classrooms q Gretchen Lowerison *, Jennifer Sclater, Richard F. Schmid, Philip C. Abrami Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance, LB-581, Concordia University, 145 De Maisonneuve Blvd., West Montreal, Canada H3G 1M8 Received 14 April 2004; accepted 13 October 2004 Abstract This study investigated the relationship between the amount of computer technology used in post- secondary education courses, studentsÕ perceived effectiveness of technology use, and global course evalu- ations. Survey data were collected from 922 students in 51 courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The survey consisted of 65 items broken down into seven areas, namely: (1) student characteristics, (2) learning experiences and course evaluations, (3) learning strategies, (4) instructional techniques, (5) com- puter use in course, (6) perceived effectiveness of computer use and (7) personal computer use. Contrary to expectations, no significant relationship was found between computer use and global course evaluations, nor was there a relationship between perceived effectiveness of computer use and global course evaluations. However, the results did yield a positive relationship between global course evaluations and the learning experiences that students engaged in. Students also indicated that they valued the use of computer technol- ogy for learning. Descriptive statistics on questions related to personal computer use show a strong favor- able response to computer use and: facilitation of learning, value-added aspects such as usefulness to other classes and/or career, learning material in a more meaningful way, and working in groups with other students.
