Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if students who are self-taught in the use of technology are better prepared to utilize technology in college in comparison to students who are less self-taught. The data was extracted from the study, Perceptions of Recent High School Graduates on Educational Technology Preparedness for College, by Dr. Brian Brachio in 2005. An independent group t-test was performed to evaluate whether high school students who are intrinsically motivated to learn technology were more likely to perform better in their use of technology in college. The results show a higher utilization of technology in college for high self-taught (high intrinsically motivated) students than students who are low self-taught (low intrinsically motivated).
