Students mostly used ICT to communicate with peers. Students\u2019 methods of assimilating knowledge were through teacher-centred teaching, even though they somewhat used ICT for collaborative and inquiry learning. Students in public schools perceived the use of ICT more valuable than students in private schools. Also, the study provided evidence that students in urban and rural schools differed in their attitudes in terms of perceived value and cost of ICT use, but no differences in attitude in terms of expectancy of success were found to exist among students in all locations. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The study provided further evidence that the value of ICT positively related to students\u2019 pedagogical use of ICT, but the effect was very limited. This implies that although students have positive attitudes toward the benefits of ICT in learning; many do not integrate the technology into their learning. Lastly, the study was able to provide additional evidence that perceived cost negatively related to students\u2019 pedagogical use of technology, but the result was very small. This indicates that since many students do not utilize ICT in their learning they rarely encounter barriers or challenges when it comes to the integration of the technology into their studies.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itse-10-2013-0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,24]],"date-time":"2014-11-24T10:49:07Z","timestamp":1416826147000},"page":"302-314","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An investigation of secondary school students\u2019 attitudes toward pedagogical use of ICT in learning in Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Charles","family":"Buabeng-Andoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Issifu","family":"Yidana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122722314429300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Artino, A.R.\n                (2007), \u201cMotivational beliefs and perceptions of instructional quality: predicting satisfaction with online training\u201d, Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Vol. 24 No. 3, pp. 260-270.","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2729.2007.00258.x"},{"key":"key2020122722314429300_b2","unstructured":"Bayindir, N.\n                and \n                  Inan, H.Z.\n                (2009), \u201cThe educational quality of the technology used in teacher training\u201d, World Applied Science Journal, Vol. 6 No. 6, pp. 855-860, available at: www.researchgate.net\/publication\/225026735"},{"key":"key2020122722314429300_b3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dorup, J.\n                (2004), \u201cExperience and attitudes towards information technology among first year medical students in Denmark: longitudinal questionnaire survey\u201d, Journal of Medical Internet Research, Vol. 6 No. 1, p. -.","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.6.1.e10"},{"key":"key2020122722314429300_b5","unstructured":"Eccles, J.\n               , \n                  Adler, T.F.\n               , \n                  Futterman, R.\n               , \n                  Goff, S.B.\n               , \n                  Kaczala, C.M.\n               , \n                  Meece, J.\n                and \n                  Midgley, C.\n                (1983), \u201cExpectancies, values and academic behaviors\u201d, in \n                  Spence, \n                and \n                  J.T.\n                (Ed), Achievement and Achievement Motives, W.
