The study, which was designed with a survey method, included 612 high school senior students. In the research conducted with the screening model and participated by 612 high school senior students, effort was paid to determine whether the students' gender, the type of school they attend, whether they take information and communication technologies courses, and the digital devices they possess explain a significant difference in their levels of “information, media, and technology usage”. According to the results obtained from the research, it can be said that there is a significant difference in favor of males in terms of students' gender as regards "programming", "problem solving" and "security" skills. The results revealed that the level of use of information, media and technology skills increases with the variety of digital devices that students possess. Similarly, a significant difference was found in favor of students who took information and communication technologies course. As regards school types, it was found that especially students enrolled in private schools enjoy higher levels of use of “information, media and technology skills” compared to other students.
