THEMOTIVATING FACTORS OF STUDENT INFORMATION BEHAVIOR

Summary/Abstract: The ability to apply knowledge in a particular situation raises new requirements for the learning process. Problem-based learning promotes students to independently seek information. The information behavior becomes part of the learning process, during which the identification of existing knowledge and retrieval of information help students to complete the knowledge gaps. In order to activate students’ information behavior, it is important to identify the essential elements that motivate information behavior. The article presents results of a theoretical analysis of the basic factors influencing information behavior. This analysis has shown that there are three groups of motivating dimensions: cognitive (information literacy and initial knowledge), situational (work task), and emotional (individual motivation).
