Survey of Barriers on Efficient Use of Information and Communications Technology in Student Research at Master Level in Shahid Beheshti University

The purpose of the present paper is to examine barriers on efficient use of information and communications technology in student research at master level in Shahid Beheshti University. For this purpose, instituational, technical, economic, personal and educational barriers were examined. The statistical population of the study is 133 including master students at the Faculty of education science and psychology at Shahid Beheshti.on based of MORGAN table. From among statistical population98 person were determined as the sample of study by random selection. The standard questionnaire method was adopted for collection of data for this study; the questions were based on likert measure. In order to analyze data statistically, in this research descriptive statistics indexes such as frequency and computing mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics methods such as single sample t, independent t, and Friedman test, has been used. The results indicate personal and infrastructure barriers on efficient use of communications technology in student researchs have mediate(average)effect and economic and cultural –educational barriers have lower than mediate effect. But findings of Friedman test (Question 5 R) show that in lack of the efficient use of information and communication technology has on student research, technological -infrastructural barriers have the most effect and cultural– educational barriers have the least impact. The results of t test for independent groups show that female students belive to the impact of technical - infrastructure barriers, economic barriers and educational- cultural barriers in the efficient use of ICT in student research but the male students have less belief.
