Information and communication technology (ICT) literacy: Refining a construct for assessment

This research effort conceptualized, developed, implemented, and examined the psychometric properties of an Information & Communication Technology (ICT) literacy assessment instrument designed for students entering college. This process began with the development of a working definition of the ICT literacy based on the literature and the input of a panel of experts regarding the proposed literacy sub-constructs and the individual test items. A pilot test was conducted to identify areas for improvement. Once these improvements were incorporated, the final assessment instrument was administered to the freshmen class at a private Midwestern comprehensive university with religious affiliation. The psychometric aspects of the assessment instrument were analyzed based in the field test results. Four hypotheses were used to further examine the field test data. The first hypothesis tested the ICT literacy dimensions or sub-constructs that were derived from the literature and refined with assistance of the panel of experts. Three additional hypotheses examined assessment results through selected demographic aspects of the participants including gender, a socioeconomic indicator, and their self-reported high-school GPA. The results of the field test indicated that ICT literacy may be complex, but it can be measured. The developed items that formed the assessment instrument fell within good psychometric bounds. This was not the case with the dimensions or sub-constructs, since they were not supported by the results of a confirmatory factor analysis or materialize through an exploratory factor analysis. This analysis did suggest different factors that have been included in the resulting proposed Digital Communication and Information Scale (DCITS). The ICT Literacy assessment instrument field test scores were analyzed through the demographic information provided by the participants. The assessment results revealed that female participants performed better than male participants. The participants from lower socioeconomic levels, as indicated by eligibility for subsidized lunches, received lower assessment scores. And finally, the participants with higher GPAs received higher scores on the ICT literacy assessment. This research effort has shown that ICT literacy assessment is possible and can provide insight for educators and guide future research. Suggested alternative dimensions were proposed (DCITS) that differed from those proposed in the related literature. Future iterations of this ICT literacy assessment instrument or development of similar instruments is warranted to continue to explore this important topic

Challenges of Using ICT in assessing and Developing Students’ affective Domain in Education

ICT is becoming an inevitable tool in education nowadays. For any academic activities to be effective, the use of ICT is imperative. There are also a lot of benefits and improvement that ICT has brought to the field of education. These benefits and development cut across all spheres of education, such as the aspect of content, instruction and evaluation. In area of evaluation, the cognitive and psychomotor aspects of evaluation are mostly developed, based on the fact that both can be easily accessed through ICT. However, in the aspect of affective domain, the level of assessment is low and not absolutely reliable because it deals with the feelings, interest and values that learner attached to the subject matter. Hence, this study aimed at finding an effective way that ICT can be used to assess students’ affective domain in the process of evaluation. In order to get in-depth understanding of the subject matter, the study employs qualitative design by using semi-structured interview to elicit information from specialists in the field of communication technology. Findings from the study indicate that the use of ICT to evaluate student affective domain requires an illustrious, diligent, and enthusiastic ICT literate teacher. Equally, there is a need to develop software that will focus more on the evaluation of students’ affective domain. Meanwhile, this area that will develop students’ soft skills is greatly needed to produce good citizens, employees, and government of their individual community

IT process architectures for enterprises development: A survey from a maturity model perspective

During the last years much has been published about IT governance. Close to the success of many governance efforts are the business frameworks, quality models, and technology standards that help enterprises improve processes, customer service, quality of products, and control. In this paper we i) survey existing frameworks, namely ITIL, ASL and BiSL, ii) find relations with the IT Governance framework CobiT to determine if the maturity model of CobiT can be used by ITIL, ASL and BiSL, and (iii) provide an integrated vista of IT processes viewed from a maturity model perspective. This perspective can help us understand the importance of maturity models for increasing the efficiency of IT processes for enterprises development and business-IT alignment
