Modeling of Schools ICT Utilization: An Empirical Study in Indonesia

ICT is well known in the information society. The influence of ICT is like a pressure on life that impossible to be ignored. ICT appears in the habits of the community to communicate, interact, information sharing, especially in school community. The utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in the school community has been extensively stated by many prominent studies. However, many of them show that there is no single universal model suitable to be adopted by all schools. This paper presents a modeling of school ICT utilization that is built by statistical causality test that reflects from empirical schools' cases. Testing the relationships among seven components of ICT utilization in schools is performed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The seven components get their respective path coefficient levels. each hypothesis is based on research references and expert judgement. The model shows seven principal components as building which reflected from ICT utilization in schools.
