Student's Perception towards ICT Use in Government and Non- Government Schools of Surkhet District

This article delves into students' perceptions of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in government and non-government schools in Surkhet District. The main objective of the article is to explore the perception of students towards the use of ICT in government and non-government school in Surkhet district. In this article, a mixture of article methods is used including both quantitative and qualitative approaches. All the secondary level students in 18 schools of Surkhet district was the population of the article. Among the students of 18 schools, 424 were selected as sample. Questionnaires were used as the source for the data collection. The article used the statistical tools like Regression analysis to find out the perception of the students towards ICT use in schools. Data collected from both school types revealed demographic distributions and attitudes toward ICT. Government school respondents were primarily aged 12-13, while non-government schools had more respondents across all age groups. Males were the majority in both. The regression model analyzing students' perception of ICT use displayed a moderately strong positive correlation (R = 0.610), with 37.2 percent variance explained by factors like Access to Personal Device, Digital Literacy, Access to School IT Resources, and ICT Integration in Curriculum. Constructs showed good reliability and validity, affirming measurement accuracy. Results highlighted the positive impact of examined factors on ICT use, underlining the significance of resource access, digital literacy, and curriculum integration. Non-government schools had higher mean scores in computer and internet skills, possibly due to infrastructure or resource differences. Notable disparities existed between government and non-government schools in combined school and home ICT use and confidence levels, with gender differences also noted, warranting further exploration or intervention. The article underscores the need for improving access to resources, enhancing digital literacy, and integrating ICT in curricula to positively influence students' perceptions and use of ICT.

Analysis of the Use of Blockchain Technology in Student Data Management in Schools

The objective of this study is to examine the implementation of blockchain technology in the administration of student data in educational institutions and evaluate its efficacy and security in comparison to conventional systems. This study utilizes a qualitative methodology and adopts a case study approach to examine the implementation of blockchain technology in multiple schools. Data were acquired through in-depth interviews with school IT professionals, administrators, and blockchain technology specialists, as well as research of documentation relating to student data management policies and procedures. The results of the study reveal that the application of blockchain technology in student data management has several significant advantages, including greater data security, transparency, and operational efficiency. Blockchain ensures that student data is protected and may only be accessed by authorized individuals, eliminating the danger of data leakage and manipulation. In addition, the openness given by blockchain allows for real-time tracking of data changes, permitting more accurate audits and monitoring. This study, however, revealed significant problems in the application of blockchain technology in schools, such as the need for suitable infrastructure, high implementation costs, and a lack of awareness and technical skills among school staff. In conclusion, although blockchain technology offers numerous benefits in student data management, the success of its deployment rests greatly on the technical and financial readiness of educational institutions, as well as the necessity for sufficient training and socializing for users.

The Role of Information Technology in Governance Mechanism for Strategic Business Contribution: A Pilot Study

Information Technology Governance (ITG) aligns IT and business transformation in schools. Private schools need to implement a method to evaluate the process of aligning IT strategy with business strategy and whether IT investment supports business objectives. Â What factors influence the ITG of selected Indonesia High School (HS) aligning IT-Business strategy? Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is a tool for analyzing the ITG model results in this study. The result is the composition of 9 variables with four independent variables (as structure mechanism variables), four dependent variables (as process and relational mechanism variables), and the ITG variable (as the final variable) shows a significant value of 0.75 at the ITG variable. This considerable value means that the ITG supporting variables of four independent and four dependent variables significantly affect the ITG variable by 75%. This study provides information if the system trust variable is increasing due to the influence of good IT strategy (independent) variables and good business (dependent) variables. The recommendation is that this ITG trust model can be used to evaluate the alignment of IT strategy with business strategy and whether IT investment supports business objectives in HS

Managing the Implementation of Information Technology in Schools

Modern technology has had a transformative impact on educational systems, learning, and teaching practices. The advent of the internet and the development of various digital tools have opened up new opportunities for education. Unfortunately, teachers and scholars, who may have educated themselves or being educated in a whole different era and time of schooling, find it really difficult to teach in the new modern ways. Different sides often blame each other for not being ready to innovations: the public blames teachers and superintendents for not adopting new technology in school and in turn teachers blame the state itself for not providing enough money and time. The authors claim that steps must be taken to implement IT in schools, and list possible steps.

Parenting practices, bullying perpetration, and conduct problems among Ukrainian children
