THE ROLE OF ROMANIAN STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE INTERNET IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The Internet is not only seen as a powerful driver of change, but also as a valuable tool and significant educational component in students’ life. Technology development and Internet considerably affect students’ motivation, performance and interests, making it possible for learners to collaborate, learn and share ideas among each other. Attitudes towards the Internet within the context of Romanian secondary education are an important factor in the age of globalization. This paper aims to explore teenage students’ attitudes towards the use of the Internet, thus helping us to identify benefits, as well as potential negative effects of social media. According to our findings, no relevant differences have been noticed between male and female students as regards the negative attitudes towards the Internet. Furthermore, results have also indicated advantages in the use of generic social network sites such as Facebook, besides other networking services.
