Attitudes of undergraduate students with regards to the information and communication aspects of study

The new system of higher education launched by the Bologna Declaration was influenced by the continued expansion of ICT and the adoption of other principles of modern communication and didactics. With the aim of establishing the emotional judgements and attitudes of students toward ICT, and its communication aspect within their studies, we initiated a research study using the instrument of semantic differentials. The respondents were 2^nd year students from the Organization and Informatics Studies Department. The findings based on an analysis of attitudes, which indicated that predispositions to achieving specific results in mastering the curriculum were connected to the attitudes of students. Differences in learning, ICT and communication attitudes among subgroups, which were formed on the basis of gender and success in study, generally proved to be statistically significant. The results are comparable with similar research outputs made in previous studies. Certain aspects of attitudes, found as a result of processing, showed relatively high correlations between positive attitudes and success in studying.
