Background and Objectives

The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between e-learning style and computer literacy by considering the mediating role of information literacy among graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. In addition to examining the relationship between e-learning style and computer literacy mediated by information literacy, this study aims to build a model to provide a way to learn for life.

Methodology

This research was applied based on the main purpose and quantitative based on the method. It was a survey-field data collection method and based on analytical technique it was a descriptive research (correlation) based on path analysis. The samples of this study consisted of 362 graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, who were selected by random sampling method. Data were collected using e-learning questionnaires (Khademizadeh, 1400) and computer literacy questionnaires (armor maker, 2015) and information literacy (armor maker, 2015). The validity and reliability of the tools used in this study were evaluated and reported appropriately. Emos software version 23 and SPSS version 23 were used to analyze the data. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression tests were used to estimate the relationship between the variables. Sobel test was used to estimate the effect of the mediating variable in SPSS software; also, in the present study, to fit the final research model, model fit indices in Emus software have been used.

Findings

The values of fitness indicators related to the proposed research model indicate that most fitness indicators in the research model are desirable and to a large extent acceptable. Regarding the direct effect hypotheses, the findings showed that there is a significant relationship between e-learning style and information literacy. Also, there is a direct and significant relationship between information literacy and computer literacy and e-learning style with computer literacy of the studied students. Has it. Regarding the indirect effect hypothesis, the results of the bootstrap test showed that there is a significant relationship between e-learning styles and computer literacy through information literacy.

Discussion

In this study, electronic information literacy content was used to teach information literacy for virtual students and the results showed that electronic information literacy content has a major effect on students' problem solving skills and problem solving skills of students trained through electronic content. Significantly more and higher than other students who did not receive this content. According to the results of the present study, based on the relationship between e-learning styles, information literacy and computer literacy, graduate students should be able to identify their information needs, be able to evaluate, select and process them well, and finally with prior knowledge. Integrate themselves and create new knowledge. To empower students, familiarity with information literacy and the use of media for learning and teaching is a necessity that must be considered. In addition, it was found that information literacy rate can affect the effectiveness of e-learning styles on media literacy. Therefore, it is suggested that information literacy training courses be planned and implemented based on students' learning style; because more effective results will be received. It is also suggested that for the benefit of students and due to the direct relationship between computer literacy and information literacy, training courses to acquire and develop these two literacy for students to be implemented.
