Prediction of Students’ Perceptions towards Technology’ Benefits, Use and Development

Abstract

The utilization of technology in education has been increasing during the unprecedented time of the Covid-19 pandemics. It has not only affected the opinions of teachers, but also students’ perceptions have been impacted. This paper identified and compared students’ perceptions of Indian and Hungarian universities towards technology use, benefits, and development. A stepwise regression filtered out six significant variables that explained the perception of Indian students ($R^{2}=.91$), and three variables identified the perception of Hungarian students towards technology ($R^{2}=.61$). Indian students’ perception has been recognized with six technology variables: “Sharing of resources expertise and advice”, “ICT tools/techniques promoting workshops policy”, “Up to date learning materials”, “Desktop Computers equipped with internet access”, “E-library”, and “E-Reader”. Three variables such as “Improving analytical skills”, “Download/Browse material”, “High-quality lessons” also impacted the viewpoints of Hungarian students.
