IMPACT OF INFORMATION LITERACY AND LEARNER CHARACTERISTICS ON LEARNING BEHAVIOR OF JAPANESE STUDENTS IN ONLINE COURSES

Abstract

This paper investigated the effects of information literacy on learning behavior, and measured various indices of learner characteristics in fully online and hybrid courses at a Japanese university. In fully online courses, some factor scores for information literacy were found to be significantly higher in face-to-face than hybrid courses. The information literacy scores of masters students were also found to be significantly higher than bachelor students. Results of causal analyses indicate that operational skills (component of information literacy) affect the online learning experience of bachelor students, while for masters students, attitudes affect learning habits in online learning experiences. This paper also examined the role of information literacy in fully online and hybrid courses.
