“…For example, the evidence from an extensive research showed that females used the internet marginally more (on the average) than males for social contact and there were substantial gender differences in favour of female students in various countries (Australia, Chile, Korea, Lithuania and in three Canadian provinces -Newfoundland, Labrador and Ontario), except for Turkey where male values were substantially higher than female (Fraillon et al, 2014). Other researchers have found ICT utilization to be significantly dependent on the socio-economic level (high, medium and low) of students (Alcántar et al, 2017). It was based on this background that this study was conceived to assess some socio-demographic factors (gender, age, parents' income level, students' educational level and school location) and their respective and interactive effects on students' satisfaction with the study of ICT in secondary schools.…”

This research assessed certain socio-demographic variables and how they affect students' satisfaction with the study of ICT in secondary schools. The study adopted a survey research design and was guided by six specific objectives. A total of 4,484 senior secondary school students represented the study's population, while a simple random sampling technique was adopted in selecting a sample of 2,242 respondents. Secondary school Students' Satisfaction with the Study of ICT Questionnaire (SSSSSICTQ)" was used primarily as the tool for data collection. Although there are differences in students' satisfaction levels across various groups, age, gender, parents' income level, students' education level and school location do not significantly influence students' satisfaction with the study of ICT in secondary schools respectively. It was concluded that the socio-demographic factors of students do not influence to a notable extent, students' satisfaction with the study of ICT in secondary schools. Based on this conclusion, the implication imposes additional responsibilities for future studies to attempt to uncover reasons why socio-demographic factors do not affect the satisfaction of students with the study of ICT at the secondary education level.
