- Abstract
This study aims to describe (1) ICT utilization needs, (2) utilization of ICT, and (3) obstacles faced in utilizing ICT by students in learning to write. To achieve that goal a quantitative descriptive design was used. The subjects of this research were 1242 high school students spread in nine state high schools in Buleleng Regency located inside, outskirts, and out of town. Data were collected by using questionnaire and analysed quantitatively. It was found out that of twelve potential ICT to support students in learning to write, only three are required by most students. There are (1) searching for theory about writing, (2) searching for models of writing in various types of texts, and (3) seeking material for the writing assignment. Of the three potential of ICT required by most students, only two are truly utilized by most students. Both are (1) looking for theory about writing and (2) finding material for the writing assignment. There are three dominant constraints faced by students, both within the city, suburbs, and outside the city, namely: (1) having no ICT tools and (2) internet signals (in schools) are weak, and (3) being unskilled in using ICT. However, there are variations or differences in the proportion of students facing each constraint between regions.
