Abstract
This paper presents the results of a large-scale research at the Pedagogical Department of Primary Education of the University of Patras on the transition from school to university and the exploitation of Internet and technology in studies. The survey was conducted over four consecutive academic years (2013-2017). The sample was the newly enrolled students of the department. A questionnaire with closed and open questions was used to implement the survey. The findings of this research show that the extent of Internet and mobile phone use as a support tool for conventional university institutions and students is varied. In order for the use of new technologies and the investment of an institution to be efficient, students need to have the knowledge and the ability to use it. Therefore, students need to develop the adequate skills.
