“…Some have defended an approach that would measure the real application of the ICT skills by the respondents (for instance, Madigan et al, 2007), but a larger proportion of researchers have opted to use the selfperception of ICT skills by the respondents (Nair & Das, 2011;Maneschijn et al, 2013). Some others have preferred to combine the former approaches (Hohlfeld et al, 2013;Huggins, Ritzhaupt, & Dawson, 2014).…”

Computers have taken an important place in the training of science students and in the professional life of scientists. It is often taken for granted that most students have mastered basic Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) skills; however, it has been shown that not all students are equally proficient in this regard. Starting from theories of socialization and technology acceptance we report how we constructed a structural equation model (SEM) to explore the variance in the basic ICT skill levels of science students. We also present the results of a test of this model with university bachelor's science students. Basic ICT skills were measured using a new, elaborate instrument allowing students to rate their skills in detail. Our results show that science students score high on basic ICT skills and that our SEM explains a large part of the variation in the ICT skill levels of these students. The most explanatory power is coming from four variables: the perceived ease of use and the perceived usefulness of a personal computer, the anxiety for using a personal computer, and students' belief that ICT is necessary for scientific research.

“…Academics have recognised the significant advantages that ICT skills provide to people, businesses, and countries. According to Maneschijn et al (2013), ICT proficiency improves employability and gives people a competitive advantage in the labour market. Industries are becoming more and more dependent on technology in both established and developing countries, and people with ICT skills are in high demand across a range of industries (UNESCO, 2023; Maneschijn et al, 2013).…”

The study examines the role of ICT skills in internal wealth creation in Bayelsa State. The issues of employment in Nigeria are highly significant among young people, and this study is anticipating ICT skill development as a possible remedy to the problem of unemployment in Nigeria and Bayelsa state in particular. The study is a descriptive research design, which involved a sampled of 120 respondents, comprising IT practitioners, academia, and staff of the Bayelsa State Ministry of Youth and Sport. A validated questionnaire was used to gather relevant data. The method of analysis was characterized by mean and standard deviation as they were used to answer research questions, while the PPMC was used to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. The study result (r = 0.746, p-value = 0.013 < 0.05) presents a strong positive significant relationship between ICT skill development and internal wealth creation in Bayelsa State. The study recommended that Bayelsa State should invest in youth ICT skills training programmes that are more advanced.

“…The good starting point to assess the extent to which teachers and their students were prepared for school closures is to examine how frequently ICT was used for teaching before and during the crisis hit. Maneschijn, et al (2013) summarized that there are differ with the categorisation of computer-based ICT skills as basic, intermediate and advance skills.…”

Nowadays, the total number of parents who send their children to the school of Islam Terpadu (IT) increased significantly especially in Aceh. The design of mixed curriculum between general education and religious education became a trigger for parents. The aim of this study is to explore teaching and learning English at one of senior high schools of Islam Terpadu (IT) in Banda Aceh in terms of teaching strategies, media and assessment. This study used qualitative method in nature. Two English teachers who taught at the tenth grade were participated in this study. Observations and interview were conduct to collect the data. The data were analysed and interpreted through qualitative procedures. The findings indicated that teachers used various strategies, media and different assessment in teaching English to motivate the students to learn English. In other hand, talent program stimulated the students to improve their English abilities which are related to religious education. However, the teachers expect to set out the English contents more specifically toward religious education (Qur’an and Hadits).
