Abstract

This study utilised a non-experimental, quantitative research design to describe the ICT experiences of fourth-year Social Work students of the University of South Africa. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 317 students for the study. A questionnaire was used as a data-collection instrument and the data collected were analysed using SPSS. The study’s findings indicated that the majority of the students (83.5%) have access to computers, but some of them could not access the internet because of inadequate knowledge of computer usage, lack of financial resources to buy a laptop, and the cost of commuting to a computer centre.

本研究采用非实验的定量研究设计来描述南非大学社会工作专业四年级学生的ICT体验。本研究采用非概率目的抽样方法,选取317名学生作为研究样本。使用问卷作为数据收集工具,并使用SPSS对收集到的数据进行分析。研究结果显示,大部分学生(83.5%)可以使用电脑,但部分学生由于对电脑的使用知识不足、缺乏购买笔记本电脑的经济资源,以及前往电脑中心的通勤费用,而无法上网。
