| Sumario: |
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are being used more and more as
part of teaching processes in both formal and informal settings. In this regard, it is important to
understand university students’ attitudes towards using ICT as they will shortly form part of the
productive sector of society. The aim of this study was to analyze student attitudes during their
final years pursuing various degrees at a university in Costa Rica. We used a non-experimental
transactional design and probabilistic sampling that involved 1187 students. We used a questionnaire
containing a Likert-type scales to measure attitudes, which was structured according to affective,
cognitive, and behavioral components. The results showed positive attitudes in general, with higher
scores in the cognitive and behavioral components, and moderate scores in the affective component.
In addition, we found differences in attitudes according to sex, prior training in technology, and
academic performance.
