Abstract

The OECD surveys the questionnaire on the background of ICT every three years since 2003. In this study, we compare and analyze the changes in ICT accessibility and ICT usability of Korean students in 2015 and 2018 using the ICT background data of OECD PISA. ICT accessibility refers to the degree of access to ICT equipment at school or at home. There are 10 items of accessibility surveys at schools used by PISA, and 11 items at home. ICT usability refers to how much ICT equipment is used at or outside of school for learning or non-learning purposes. There are ten items for surveying usability at school, and twenty-four items for surveying usability outside of school. In the analysis of this study, the arithmetic mean of the items is used. As a result, Korean students' accessibility at school improved from 25.48% in 2015 to 40.40% in 2018, and from the lowest group in 2015 to below-average group in 2018. In terms of students' usability at school, we analyzed the percentage of students who use the ICT equipment 'almost every day' and the students who use it 'everyday'. Both 2015 and 2018 are among the lowest. Accessibility at home is higher in 2018 than in 2015, and belongs to the average group of OECD countries in 2018. ICT Usability for learning purposes outside of school is the lowest group in both 2015 and 2018. ICT Usability outside of school for non-learning purposes is in the average group of OECD countries. As a result of this study, we can see that Korea's digital literacy education is weak compared to other OECD countries. Prior to education about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, investment in digital literacy education is needed.
