Secondary School Students’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs in Educational Internet Use (original) (raw)
The Internet is becoming increasingly influential in our daily lives and it is the most important way of getting informed in our society. Recently, Internet usage has increased substantially in schools. Especially, students use the Internet intensively to get more information from the educational resources. Internet is used in education as well as in other areas of our daily life so analyzing self-efficacy beliefs about its use has become very important. In this study, secondary school students’ self-efficacy beliefs in educational Internet use are evaluated. A Likert type scale developed by Şahin (2009) is used to measure students’ self-efficacy beliefs in educational Internet use. In addition, items regarding student demographics are added to this questionnaire. The study is conducted online and data are collected from the secondary schools students (6-7-8th grade) of five different provinces in Turkey. Findings related to the student self-efficacy beliefs are reported based on student demographics and suggestions are provided.
