Dataset Information

Antecedents of adolescent students' ICT self-efficacy: The ICT dataset.

ABSTRACT: Based on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 dataset, the information and communication technology (ICT) dataset focuses specifically on ICT-related constructs in the context of educational technology. It includes a wide range of student-level variables collected from 30 Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, which pertain to students' motivational and behavioural characteristics in relation to their ICT self-efficacy. In total, it comprises 201, 652 students from 7708 schools. As technology has become an integral component of education, the ICT dataset can serve as a handy resource for studying ICT-related constructs. Besides, the ICT dataset holds advantages over the original PISA dataset for its intensive focus and easy readability. With this important resource, researchers can undertake their own research in the neighbouring fields of ICT, developing their own theories or validating existing theoretical frameworks and statements. The focus of this study is to identify the antecedents of adolescent students' ICT self-efficacy and illuminate potential mechanisms at work.

Project description:Background: External locus of control orientation (ELOC) is a powerful predictor of adverse consequences in regard to health, educational attainment, inter-personal relationships and well-being. Although many cross-sectional studies have been carried out, relatively little is known about antecedent factors influencing the development of ELOC. Methods: Over 12,000 pregnant women who enrolled in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) in south-west England, had completed a brief version of the Adult Nowicki-Strickland Internal-External LOC scale, together with detailed questions concerning their own parents and childhood. A series of hypothesis-free structured backwards stepwise logistic regression analyses used an exposome approach with ELOC as the outcome. Results: Significant positive associations were found with smoking of the parents of the surveyed women, including prenatal exposure, and their own onset of regular smoking in mid-childhood (6-11 years). Increased odds of ELOC were also found with the absence of their fathers in early childhood, presence of older siblings, and with being born and brought up in the same area as they resided in at the time surveyed. Protective influences in the surveyed women included positive rating of their mother's care, having a relatively educated mother, attending boarding school, their own age (the older they were, the less likely were they to have an external orientation), having a mentally ill parent, a sibling hospitalized or a relative die. Conclusions: There are two conclusions: (i) that not all stressful events contribute to the development of ELOC and it would be essential for models of antecedents of ELOC to take note of this complexity, and (ii) there are consistent (albeit unexpected) findings that highlight associations with cigarette smoke exposure of the woman from fetal life through to when starting to smoke regularly herself in mid-childhood. It is important that these findings are tested in other populations.
