It is well known that the application of ICT in education helps us to develop skills for competent and efficient problem solving in the field of professional activities. This paper aims to examine the attitudes of students towards the use of ICT as a source of education. The methodology adopted was that of original research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. This study included 175 students from Serbia and Bulgaria. The variables of this study were gender and the years of study. In order to assess the attitudes of students towards the use of ICT in education a five-point Likert scale was used across forty-five statements. The results of the research show that students are very interested in using ICT as a source of education. Thus, it is evident that information and communication technologies have become very important pedagogical resources in approaching the teaching and learning processes in an innovative way.
