An analysis on the effect of computer self-efficacy over scientific research self-efficacy and information literacy self-efficacy

Abstract

Present research investigates reciprocal relations amidst computer self-efficacy, scientific research and information literacy self-efficacy. Research findings have demonstrated that according to standardized regression coefficients, computer self-efficacy has a positive effect on information literacy self-efficacy. Likewise it has been detected that information literacy self-efficacy positively affects scientific research self-efficacy. It has also been designated that computer self-efficacy has a positive impact on scientific research self-efficacy. It is suggested that the findings of present research shall provide assistance in detecting the sequence of computer, information literacy and scientific research skills development courses that shall be integrated into curriculums.
