The questionnaire included four types of scientific research questions, consisting of discovery, descriptive, explanatory, and evaluation questions. This study belongs to the methodology of quantitative research, where the measuring instrument is the questionnaire. The research revealed that students use information technology effectively Over 80% of students use the Internet and benefit from its many advantages, especially in getting new information and communicating with people.
