“…The current study has also shown that inequality is another factor that slows economic development by impeding the distributional efficiency. This finding is consistent with that of earlier empirical studies ( Chiao and Chiu, 2018 , Ganju et al, 2015 , Ranis et al, 2000 ). In addition, the findings reported in earlier empirical investigations, government effectiveness, the vote share and ideology of the ruling political parties were also found to be significant predictors of economic development.…”

“…Following this approach, an extensive body of empirical study has investigated the effect of ICT on economic development ( Asongu and Le Roux, 2017 , Bankole et al, 2013 , Palvia et al, 2018 ). In these studies, proxy variables, such as human development ( Ashraf et al, 2015 , Asongu and Le Roux, 2017 , Budd and Ziegler, 2017 , Walsham, 2017 ), quality of life ( Chiao and Chiu, 2018 , Kadijevich et al, 2016 ) and well-being ( Ganju et al, 2015 , Palvia et al, 2018 ), have been used to define economic development.…”

“…Focusing on different target populations, some studies have reported a positive correlation between ICT use and quality of life ( Chiao and Chiu, 2018 , Kadijevich et al, 2016 ). Studies have also shown that at the national level, the economic well-being of a nation is dependent on its ICT infrastructure ( Czernich et al, 2011 , James, 2014 , Nouinou et al, 2015 ).…”

To date, definitions of information and communication technology (ICT) development used in quantitative studies on the relationship between economic development and ICT are incomplete and often based on single indicators. Thus, this study investigates the link between ICT maturity and economic development in the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. A novel composite index of ICT maturity that includes previously neglected dimensions of ICT maturity, such as affordability and quality of internet connectivity, is utilised. The baseline estimations using the feasible generalised least squares indicate that ICT maturity is associated with an increase in economic development by 1%–3.8% in OECD countries. These findings have been cross-validated by applying the generalised method of moments estimation. Results imply that the holistic development of ICT, including infrastructure, skills, and affordability, can augment economic development.

“…Following the latter, the cognitive response refers to students’ beliefs about ICTs [ 27 , 28 ]; affective response refers to students’ feelings about using ICTs (e.g., joy, fear, anxiety, etc.) [ 26 , 28 , 29 ]; and behavioural response refers to the reinforcement or change of students’ behaviour in relation to the technologies [ 27 ]. In this way, the attitude assumes a predisposition of the student to be favourable or unfavourable to the incorporation and use of ICT in their educational process [ 30 ].…”

“…In this sense, it is evident that ICTs as tools used by students, within the framework of the subjects, facilitate the development and strengthening of competences, make knowledge more accessible and concepts more appropriate [ 2 , 39 , 40 ]. Similarly, their frequent use allows them to structure new knowledge, based on access, selection, organisation and interpretation of more complex information [ 28 , 29 , 40 ].…”

Multivariate Analysis of Attitudes, Knowledge and Use of ICT in Students Involved in Virtual Research Seedbeds

The incorporation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in higher education has been carried out in a transversal manner within the curriculum, and the processes of formative research in both face-to-face and virtual programmes are not an exception to this process. In this context, it is recognised that students’ perceptions of the inclusion of technologies in the classroom can influence their teaching and learning process; however, they have not been widely addressed in multiple settings including research seedbeds. Thus, this paper aims to identify such perceptions represented in the attitudes, knowledge and uses of ICTs in students ascribed to the research seedbed in a virtual business administration programme of an Institution of Higher Education located in Colombia. For its fulfillment, the ACUTIC scale was applied to a sample of 65 students in order to identify these perceptions through a hierarchical cluster analysis, a single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, a post hoc Tukey method and a factor analysis. The main result is that attitudes, knowledge and use of ICTs are varied and they can be represented in three clusters. In general, the attitude towards the incorporation of technologies in the research seedbed is positive; however, there is a gap in terms of knowledge and use, especially of those tools oriented to the disciplinary field and research.

Building Academic Resilience in Literacy: Digital Reading Practices and Motivational and Cognitive Engagement

In this study, we used an academic resilience framework to explore how adolescents from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds overcame adversity and achieved high levels of reading proficiency. Our main aim was to investigate whether digital reading practices and reading engagement (reading motivation and metacognitive strategies) could act as protective factors, individually and collectively, promoting academic resilience among students with low SES. We conducted a multi‐group structural equation model analysis with serial mediators to identify the characteristics of resilient students and their resilience pathways. We used a nationally representative sample of US adolescents from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 data. The results indicated that engaged readers—internally motivated and strategic—were resilient readers. Reading engagement was a source of resilience and helped them achieve high proficiency in reading as a consequence. Reading motivation and metacognitive strategies worked in tandem and sequentially to build resilient and strong readers and were also important mechanisms for linking digital reading practices to reading achievement. We thus highlight simultaneous motivational and strategic development in reading for low‐SES students. It is particularly critical to increase students' overall level of reading motivation and to strengthen its pathways to metacognitive strategies and reading achievement. This process would be enhanced further by incorporating digital reading practices into instruction for engaged reading. Digital reading was related to reading motivation, and then to better awareness of metacognitive strategies, which in turn was shown to be linked to increased reading achievement for all students.
