Helen Weston Thesis (PDF 1MB) |
Description
This thesis explored the cultural dimensions of information use of post graduate Emirati students in order to understand how information use is experienced in light of what is revealed when national culture is explored. Seven cultural dimensions of information use became evident in this mixed methods study. This research provides empirical data contributing to the discussion of how culture intersects with information use in higher education. New contributions are provided which underpin the relationship between culture and information use. They also support the design and implementation of pedagogical approaches that recognise cultural diversity of learners.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
