Gender, Internet and computer attitudes and experiences

Web enjoyment has been regarded as a component of system experience. However, there has been little targeted research considering the role of web enjoyment alone in student learning using web-based systems. To address this gap, this study aims to examine the influence of web enjoyment on learning performance and perceptions by controlling system experience as a variable in the study. 74 students participated in the study, using a web-based tutorial covering subject matter in the area of 'Computation and Algorithms'. Their learning performance was assessed with a Pre-Test and a PostTest and their leaning perceptions were evaluated with a questionnaire. The results indicated that there are positive relationships between the levels of web enjoyment and perceived usefulness and non-linear navigation for users with similar, significant levels of system experience. The implications of these findings in relation to web-based learning are explored and ways in which the needs of students who report different levels of web enjoyment might be met are discussed.

Martin (1998) indicated that girls were at least as able as boys to complete the Internet activity.…”

“…Insert Table ---2 ---Here Table 2 above reflect that there is a statistical significance differences due to the owning a pc, it was in favor of student who own a pc, the interpretation this result it could be that owning a pc will give a great chance to the student to use available technology to them at all the times any time on their own pace, several studies found evidence of owing pc differences, virtually every study that did reported the males are more advantaged, males are more likely to own a computer (Schumacher & Morahan-Martin, 2001). Meanwhile Negative student responses to online learning are also due to owning a computer factor, particularly for students with part-time or full-time jobs, students who do not have an access to use pc or don't have computers in their homes are often irritated by the additional time required to visit a computer lab (Crotty, 2000), a lack of convenience that contributes to working students' negative reactions.…”
