ABSTRACT This study examines the use of technology for interaction by second-year college students in The Netherlands and its relationship with their integration and sense of belonging. The concepts of student integration and sense of belonging, as used in previous studies in The Netherlands, link student's persistence to their social interactions. Our findings reveal that technology use for interactions is positively correlated with students formal and informal peer interactions and with their sense of belonging in the college environment. The findings however, show no disparities between majority and minority students concerning their interactions, sense of belonging or ICT use. The overall results confirm that the use of new technology for communication benefits the interaction of students in college with peers and teachers and therefore it is also an important component for the persistence of minority students in higher education.

二年级大学生使用ICT及其与他们的互动和归属感的关系

摘要本研究探讨了荷兰二年级大学生在互动中使用技术的情况，及其与他们的融合和归属感的关系。在荷兰以前的研究中，学生融合和归属感的概念将学生的毅力与他们的社交互动联系在一起。我们的发现表明，交互技术的使用与学生的正式和非正式同伴交互以及他们在大学环境中的归属感正相关。然而，调查结果显示，在少数族裔学生之间，他们之间的互动，归属感或使用ICT并没有差距。
