ABSTRACT This study assesses the use of various technologies, from institutional virtual learning environments to Web 2.0 tools, amongst learners studying at six general Further Education colleges in the UK. The study surveyed 218 students from a range of disciplines and qualifications. Cluster analysis revealed distinct patterns of engagement with technologies in both personal/social and educational contexts. Some support was found for a connection between personal/social and academic uses of technology. In contrast to the dominant narrative of learners as digitally fluent technology users, the analysis showed the majority of learners were using educational technologies in fairly simplistic ways that satisfy the demands of their course. Significant relationships were found between digital practices in college and subject studied and gender. The discussion draws on the literature of digital literacy practices in order to interpret the findings and inform the planning and development of learning technologies.

探索英国大学生的技术使用模式:学习者数字实践的聚类分析
摘要本研究评估了在英国六所普通继续教育学院学习的学习者中,从机构虚拟学习环境到Web 2.0工具的各种技术的使用。该研究调查了来自各个学科和资格的218名学生。聚类分析揭示了在个人/社会和教育背景下与技术互动的独特模式。在技术的个人/社会和学术用途之间建立了联系,为此找到了一些支持。与作为数字流利技术用户的学习者的主流叙述相反,该分析表明,大多数学习者以相当简单的方式使用教育技术,以满足其课程的需求。在大学和所研究的学科的数字实践与性别之间发现了重要的关系。
