Learning the Internet and the structure of information behavior

Abstract: Internet use research has focused on user surveys and novice learner studies, using survey, experimental, and ethnographic methods. They share a focus on user‐based categories in the affective and cognitive domains. Information behavior has an affective component that influences the direction of cognitive processing through hierarchically organized goals, characterized by both an individual and a cultural component. Research in human‐computer interaction is evolving a user‐centered methodology for system design and instruction that focuses on integrating affective and cognitive user variables to increase productivity, creativity, and human growth. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
