Abstract
The advent of digital technologies has revolutionised communication and learning, profoundly affecting society. This contribution explores the use of the Internet for educational purposes among high school students in Sicily. Using an adapted questionnaire, the behaviours of 470 students were examined, along with potential variations between different fields of study. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a unifactorial structure of the questionnaire, consisting of 10 items. Furthermore, the instrument showed good reliability. The results indicate widespread use of the Internet for academic tasks and revealed significant disparities in the use of the Internet between the various fields of study, with students from science, humanities and foreign language schools using it more frequently than those from technical school. This study provides a valuable tool for understanding the impact of digital technologies on school learning and emphasises the need to promote key digital skills among students.
