This study analyzed the impact of ICT on students' performance based on PISA 2006 Korean data. The multi-level analysis was used to control the students' and school characteristics and the students' attitudes toward science. The results indicated that the longer they used ICT and the more confidence they had in using ICT for routine tasks such as word processing, e-mail, online chatting, and moving files, students achieved higher scores in science, math, and reading. However, confidence in high-level tasks such as creating databases, editing graphic images, and creating presentations significantly affected only math performance. In addition, using ICT itself did not significantly affect academic performance. However, using ICT at home negatively influenced math performance.
