“I DON’T REALLY ‘DO’
COMPUTERS!” -- GEOGRAPHY Paul N. Wright Understanding
the interplay between self-efficacy and digital skills can open our
eyes to the ways in which students view their own abilities to cope
with the range of software and hardware that they might experience
inside and outside of education. It may help us understand how
better to ensure our students are prepared for gainful employment.
This paper suggests that, by applying Q methodology, we can more
fully appreciate the various aspects of digital literacy and
self-efficacy for a set of students. It follows that such knowledge
can yield more specific ideas about where and how to make students
more confident in their digital practice and this is discussed in
relation to teaching Geographical Information Systems. |
