Abstract
The aim of this research study was to examine factors associated with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and university student learning processes. A quantitative field study was performed by surveying students in industrial and administrative engineering programs at the National University (Medellín, Colombia). Nine components were identified and used to propose a model. The model aimed at evaluating the willingness to use ICTs as support for professional training of engineering students. The results showed that there was a significant association between acknowledging the importance of using software as support for training and perceived utility of using ICTs. There was also a significant correlation between recognizing the importance of using ICTs and self-efficacy perception. It is concluded that there was evidence to support a correlation between skills and abilities for using ICTs and student perception of selfefficacy, which determines the applications of ICTs in educational and professional training.
