“…They also observed a positive relationship between interest and technological literacy, as well as the fact that students scoring lower on boredom were more technologically literate. The relationships described by Rupnik and Avsec (2019) are similar to the results reported in Paper III (cf. Fig.…”

Attitudes are complex and consist of emotions, beliefs, and behavior. The overall aim of this thesis is to contribute to a theoretically anchored understanding of attitudes toward technology by exploring the three components of attitudes: affective, cognitive, and behavioral among 12-15-year-old students in Sweden.This thesis includes three research papers (I, II, III) and one book chapter (Paper IV) that are based on data from two studies. Data (student interviews N=6 and survey N=173) from the first study was used in Papers I, II and IV, and data (student survey N=485) from the second study were used in Paper III.In Paper I, an existing attitude survey (PATT) is validated for use in a Swedish context. In Paper II, an instrument to quantify students' perceptions of technology and technology education is developed This instrument is used to study the cognitive component of attitudes and is named the Mitcham Score. In Paper III, the methods developed in Paper I and II are used to study the relationships among the affective, cognitive, and behavioral components of attitudes. In Paper IV, students' perceptions of technology are discussed as a starting point for teachers, when planning and teaching technology.The methods developed throughout the thesis prove useful to research the different components of attitudes. The Mitcham Score can give insights into students' perception of technology as well as be used as a construct of the cognitive component of attitudes. The PATT survey categories called Boredom and Interest measure students' feelings (affect), while the category called Career was seen as assessing the behavioral component. The affective component, Interest, was related to both the cognitive component and the behavioral component. A high Mitcham Score, or in other words a broad perception of technology, seems to be a key concept for girls to consider technological careers.

“…This means that participants face low levels of technological obstacles. This finding can be explained by technological literacy, especially among educated people such as university students [ 31 ]. However, two items (fifth and seventh items) within the technological subscale had the highest mean score than other items within the same subscale.…”

Background. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the online style of instruction started to replace the traditional style in Jordan. Aims. This study aims to (1) assess the nursing students’ perceived obstacles to online learning in Jordan; (2) explore significant relationships between participants’ characteristics and their perceived obstacles; and (3) assess for significant differences in the perceived obstacles based on participants’ characteristics. Methods. A cross-sectional, descriptive design was utilized in this study. A convenient sample of 325 nursing students responded to a self-reported questionnaire utilizing Google Forms. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the dataset using the SPSS software. Results. The mean scores of the obstacles to online learning were 2.94 (SD = 0.95) for the academic obstacles subscale, 2.90 (SD = 0.83) for the technological obstacles subscale, and 3.25 (SD = 1.00) for the administrative obstacles subscale. Significant associations were found between participants’ characteristics and perceived obstacles to online learning. For instance, the type of university was significantly associated with academic (r = −0.32, p<0.01), technological (r = −0.21, p<0.01), and administrative obstacles (r = −0.32, p<0.01). Furthermore, significant differences were found in the perceived obstacles based on the participants’ demographic and studentship-related characteristics. Conclusions. According to their perceptions of online learning, nursing students in Jordan face three types of obstacles: academic, technical, and administrative. Decision-makers should intervene to enhance the online learning experience by overcoming the reported obstacles.

“…Students' attitude towards educational processes is also influenced by the degree of school experience that their parents have (Barg, 2019). Applying long-term planning strategies for investment in education can help increase productivity (Rupnik and Avsec, 2020). It is found, however, that the application of different training practices is closely related to different learning environments (Asunda and Quintana, 2018).…”

Reading, math and science are basic skills that students acquire in school. The level of these basic skills is an important indicator of the quality of initial education and training systems. The basic competences acquired in primary and lower secondary education are assessed. The authors propose the analysis of the evolution of underachievement indicators in reading, mathematics and science in the member countries of the European Union, for the period 2006-2018. The level of education can be influenced by the existence in a community of students with poor results, associated with the existence of students with special educational needs.
