Lietuvos universitetų studentų patirtis naudoti informacines komunikacines technologijas

LTIKT naudojimas universitetinių studijų procese tampa itin reikšmingas. Viena vertus, naujosios IKT sparčiai kinta, kita vertus, negalima būtų paneigti, kad naudojimasis jomis neišvengiamas. Pastaraisiais metais į Lietuvos universitetus ateina vis geriau IKT srityje pasirengę studentai. Tačiau toks teigimas yra sąlyginis. Baigę bendrojo lavinimo mokyklas moksleiviai turi nemenkus gebėjimus IKT srityje. Tačiau gebėjimas naudotis kompiuteriais ar kita kompiuterine įranga, priemonėmis ir instrumentais nėra tas pats, kas tiesiogiai juos taikyti mokymosi ar studijų reikmėms. Universitetinės studijos iš esmės skiriasi nuo ugdymo proceso bendrojo lavinimo mokykloje. Studentas privalo nuolat dirbti su įvairia informacija, gebėti ją susirasti, analizuoti ir pan. Dar daugiau, visa tai reikalauja didelio savarankiškumo. Neretai studentai susiduria su rimtais informacijos valdymo sunkumais: negeba susirasti reikiamos informacijos, nemoka naudotis mokslinės informacijos duomenų bazėmis, paieškos sistemomis ir t. t. Todėl esamos būklės fiksavimas, nagrinėjimas įvairiais pjūviais ir būdais nebejotinai yra svarbus. Būtina nuolat stebėti, tirti studentų ir dėstytojų poreikius IKT taikymo srityje. Tyrimas parodė, kad ketvirto kurso studentai tampa sąmoningesni ir kompiuterį daugiau naudoja mokymosi tikslams negu pirmo kurso, o naudoti laisvalaikiui (žaisti žaidimus, žiūrėti filmus, internete klausyti muzikos) aktualiau yra pirmo kurso studentams. Ryškaus gebėjimų progreso IKT naudojimo srityje (nuo pirmo iki ketvirto kurso) nepastebėta ir tai kelia pagrįstą susirūpinimą.

ENUsing of ICT in the process of University studies is becoming very meaningful. On the one hand, the newest ICT are changing rapidly, on the other hand, we cannot deny that using them is inevitable. In the latter years, students better prepared in ICT field fill Lithuanian universities. However, such assertion is conditional. After graduating from comprehensive schools, students have quite good skills in ICT field. However, the ability of using computers or other computer equipment, devices and instruments is not the same as directly applying them for learning or study needs. University studies differ, in fact, from education process in comprehensive school. Student must constantly work with different information, be able to find it, analyse and so on. Moreover, all this requires self independence. Quite often students encounter with serious information management difficulties: are not able to find necessary information, cannot use scientific information data basis, and search systems and so on. Therefore, fixation of a current state, analysing in different sections and ways, is inevitably very important. It is necessary to constantly watch, research student and teachers' demands in ICT appliance field. Thus, the object of our research is the ability of the first and fourth-year undergraduates to use information and communication technologies. The aim of research is to gain information concerning the first and fourth-year students' opinion on the application of ICT in the process of studies. […].Research sample consisted of 663 respondents who were 1st year university students and of 322 respondents who were 4th year university students. In total - 985 respondents. To collect the required data, an anonymous questionnaire including four main blocks was prepared. […] Generalizing the research Student and information communication technologies results, we can claim, that: Respondents have practically unlimited possibilities for using mobile phone, computer, internet and USB memory stick. Relatively new and rather expensive digital technologies, such as i Pod touch, e-library, palm computer, GPS navigator and other are still slightly used. Computer has become the means of everyday necessity. It is intensively used both for studies and for leisure. Boys use more complex computer functions than girls do. Respondents usually use the internet for communication, information search and for e-mail services. Boys use the internet more variously than girls. Computer technology usage possibility analysis in the aspect of courses showed that statistically significant difference having existed between first year students, who have graduated from city and region schools, disappeared in the fourth course. The fourth year students comparing to the first year students are becoming more conscious and are using computer more for learning purposes, however, using computer for leisure (playing games, watching films, listening to music on the internet) is more characteristic to the first year students.
