A Cross Cultural Perspective on Information Communication Technologies Learning Survey
Ilgaz, Hale; Mazma, Sacide Güzin; Altun, Arif
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA) (11th, Porto, Portugal, Oct 25-27, 2014)
In this study, the "Information Seeking Strategies" scale that was developed by Mills, Knezek and Wakefield (2013) has been adapted to Turkish language. A confirmatory factor analysis was run and subsequently, two items were removed. The fact that these two items are related to learning in a traditional class environment may be interpreted in such a manner that the participants prefer online environments. As a result of the analysis of the items, it has been observed that ICT tools are employed for information seeking rather than information sharing. [For the complete proceedings, see ED557311.]
