Objective 1: To identify students' attitudes towards using vlogging as a tool in the education

process. This objective falls under the cognitive component that the authors measured using
the composite scale.

Objective 2. Identify the categories of vlog content that students follow. This objective falls

under the affective component, which measures respondents' emotions about the use of
vlogging in education and the impact of the phenomenon on this segment.

Objective 3. To identify the frequency with which students follow content posted by
vloggers. The current objective falls under the behavioural component, which proposes

measuring the intention to use or practice vlogging and the frequency with which content is

watched.

4. Scope and Significance of the Study

The way people communicate, learn and socialise is different from the way all this was done
in the past (Briciu, Mircea, Briciu, 2020). The criteria for competence and success today are

measured by the extent to which new technology is adopted and the efficiency with which

solutions to current problems are found. The new generation is surrounded by technology,
and the education system is too far from online development. In contrast, it should prepare

young people to adapt and use the Internet intelligently so that they are not affected. Also,
various research over time has shown that using ICT in education contributes significantly

to improving student achievement.

The digitisation of education could save the education system from criticism, as young

people view modern technology to be offering a wide range of applications that are the
foundation of knowledge building (Rad & Egerău, 2020). The classic model of education

based on memorization and standardization competence is no longer considered helpful by

the new generation, which is why it is considered that a personalised way of teaching based
on interaction and constant monitoring of progress is needed (Băcescu-Condruz, 2017). A

new form of learning that is of interest and attracts young people is video blogging, as the
younger generation reacts and is excited when they receive as much visual and audio stimuli
