Snapshots from Phnom Penh: Technology Use by University Students

Abstract

The article describes a snapshot of university students' technology and prospective professionals in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. Data collected came from a private university and a public university prominent in Cambodia. The participants completed an online Qualtrics survey on their use of technology for academic, social, and personal purposes. Also, they identified the type of devices used to meet their objectives. The results were discussed with the research literature on teaching and learning with technology contexts in other Asian countries, behind which Cambodia seems to lag in similar integration efforts. The study provides documentation of using technologies in education in a sample urban population prepared for employment and a baseline for reflections on university and student practices on technology usage.
