Abstract |
|
|
| Employing computer technology in different learning situations leads to the rapid absorption of various scientific concepts, and contributes to providing learners with many facts and knowledge in succession. However, the use of these technologies needs human groups capable of dealing with technological software and effectively employing them. It is clear from the foregoing that the use of computer technology is related to the personal characteristics of the individual, and in light of the interest of some of the literature in identifying the most important characteristics of personality and its dimensions and its various effects on the processes of using computer technology, and the interest of other studies in the possibility of identifying personality characteristics and judging them through the digital performance of computer users. The current study aimed to identify the degree of achieving psycho-technological compatibility between both personality traits and technological skills through the application of the five factors of the personality scale and the technological competency test on a sample of preparatory year students at King Faisal University. The descriptive, correlative, and comparative approach was used. Two tools were developed, a scale for personal traits and a test for basic competencies for using computer technologies. The results revealed that there is a statistically significant correlation between the personality traits and their dimensions, and the students’ technological skills. Further, there was an effect of extraversion, openness to experience, acceptability, and conscientiousness on the total scores of technological skills. In addition, it is possible to predict some of the personality traits with the technological skills common to students, and there is a large degree of compatibility and compatibility between the personality traits and the technological skills of the individual.
