Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education and clinical purposes is growing immensely. The usage skill, attitude of dental students, and difficulties faced by students are important concerns to be addressed.

OBJECTIVE

The study was designed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and skills of ICT of undergraduate dental students assessing the ease of computer and internet use among students, the level of computer skills and training of the students, and usage pattern of computer activities.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among students of three dental colleges in Haryana using a self-designed questionnaire having sections related to demographics, devices, softwares and search engine usage, ICT skills, ICT attitude, and educational and social use.

RESULTS

The response rate was 81.96%. A total of 99.1% of the individuals responded affirmatively to the usage of mobile phones, 48.4 and 13.1% for laptops and tablets, respectively. The average duration of use of smartphones per day was 4.2121 ± 2.834 hours. Google was opted as the most popular search engine used and PubMed the least popular. Only 12.9% of participants showed a negative attitude toward the use of ICT in studies. More social use than academic use was observed. Attitude scores showed a significant correlation with the educational use of ICT ( = 0.89, = 0.003).

CONCLUSION

Most of the participants were well acquainted with the usage and had a positive attitude toward ICT for educational purposes. Sensitization and training in scientific literature search and basics of ICT and their practical utilization in dental education, research, and practice should be included in the curriculum.

摘要

引言

信息通信技术（ICT）在教育和临床领域的应用正在迅猛发展。牙科学生的使用技能、态度以及他们所面临的困难是需要解决的重要问题。

目的

本研究旨在调查本科牙科学生的信息通信技术知识、态度和技能，评估学生使用计算机和互联网的便捷程度、学生的计算机技能水平和培训情况以及计算机活动的使用模式。

材料与方法

在哈里亚纳邦的三所牙科学院的学生中进行了一项横断面调查，使用自行设计的问卷，问卷内容涉及人口统计学、设备、软件和搜索引擎使用、信息通信技术技能、信息通信技术态度以及教育和社交用途。

结果

回复率为81.96%。共有99.1%的人对使用手机给予肯定答复，使用笔记本电脑和平板电脑的分别为48.4%和13.1%。智能手机每天的平均使用时长为4.2121±2.834小时。谷歌被选为最常用的搜索引擎，而PubMed最不受欢迎。只有12.9%的参与者对在学习中使用信息通信技术持消极态度。观察到社交用途多于学术用途。态度得分与信息通信技术的教育用途呈显著相关性（=0.89，=0.003）。
