Digital Exclusion in Poland and South Korea - A Comparative Analysis of the Phenomenon

Comparative empirical studies of digital exclusion have been conducted in Poland and South Korea. Surveys of students (including doctoral candidates) and in-depth interviews with academic teachers at selected universities and fields of study were used (N=135). The average differences in the opinions of Polish and Korean students are not statistically significant at the level of p<0.05. Therefore, an independent sample t-test was performed. The most common exclusion variables are objective (or technological) factors, whereas a lesser role is played by subjective (or psychological and sociological) factors.
