Abstract

New technologies have the potential to support inclusive and collaborative learning processes. However, students’ technology readiness influences how they utilize learning technologies. This research examined technology readiness among Finnish university students (N = 796) utilizing Technology Readiness Index TRI 2.0, which showed promising psychometric properties in a student sample. Latent class analysis was used to obtain profiles with different characteristics. Our findings provide encouraging evidence that TRI 2.0 could be a valuable explanatory variable in modeling the use of educational technology.
