The Study of The Relationship between Self Directed Learning Self Efficacy and Information Litracy on the Knowledge

The current study was performed with the aim of investigating the relationship between self-directed learning, self-efficacy and information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour among male students of high school of district 2 of Isfahan in the academic year 93-94 through the descriptive approach of the correlational type. All high school male students of district 2 with the number of 4995 formed the statistical population of the current study that among them 356 people were selected to participate in the current study by the random cluster sampling method. Data collection tools in this study were 4 questionnaires of self-directed learning of Fisher et al. (2001) with 40 items, self-efficacy of Sherer and Maddux (1982) with 17 items, information literacy with 18 items and knowledge sharing with 15 items, that their validity was confirmed, and their reliability, also, was obtained 0.78, 0.90, 0.91 and 0.85, respectively, by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Obtained data from the research were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics including correlation coefficient, stepwise regression and analysis of variance. The test results of main theories showed that there was a significant relationship between self-directed learning and knowledge sharing behaviour, between self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behaviour and between information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour. Also, the results showed that there was a significant relationship between the propensity for learning dimension, the self-management dimension and self-control dimension and knowledge sharing behaviour. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the desire to behaviour starting of self-efficacy dimension, the desire to expand the effort for affecting the task of self-efficacy dimension, resistant in facing with the obstacles of self-efficacy dimension and knowledge sharing behaviour. The results of stepwise regression revealed that propensity and self-management dimensions of self-directed learning have the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. The relationship among the propensity dimension to expand the effort for affecting the task has the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. Among the views of respondents in all four variables based on the education base, there was no significant difference.
