Report: L’impact des technologies de l’information et de la communication sur l’anxiété des étudiant.es au collégial (french only)

This study documents the impact of information and communication technologies for teaching on college students’ anxiety More specifically, it has several objectives.

1. Measuring anxiety levels related to the use of information and communication technologies
2. Identify conditions for using information and communication technology to reduce anxiety
3. Evaluating intervention strategies

The project took place in four stages, from 2019 to 2022, at Cégep du Vieux-Montréal. The aim of the first two stages was to develop a measurement tool to assess anxiety intensity. A community of practice was set up to develop a Plan d’application des stratégies d’Intervention et d’utilisation des TICE visant la réduction de l’Anxiété (PITA), aimed at better equipping faculty and students to deal with the anxiety-inducing potential of ICTE. The final step was to implement FITP with groups of students and compare those who had participated in FITP with control groups without FITP.

Here’s a webinar presenting the interim results from the second year of the project.
