Özet:

Advances in information and communication technologies have led to the widespread and frequent use of technological devices such as smartphones, computers and tablets that are among the means of accessing the internet and social media among university students. In this context, studies aiming to measure the attitudes towards the use of technological tools and instruments today have gained importance. In this context the research was conducted to test the validity and reliability and to verify the factor structure of the technology useage scale developed by Zincirkıran and Tiftik (2014). The study also investigated whether there is a significant difference between the technology usage scale and demographic variables in terms of university students. The questionnaires prepared in this context were distributed to 500 students in a public university and 362 questionnaires were collected for analysis. Factor analysis, frequency, t-test, ANOVA analyzes were used in the study through SPSS program. The survey found that the scale is valid and reliable. Unlike the research of authors who developed scale in the research, the factor sequence has changed. As a result of the research, no significant difference was found between the demographic variables and the technology usage scale except the income status. It was detected that the students with higher income levels had higher levels of technology use.
