Study of the Learning Style, Information Literacy and Computer Literacy among Graduate Students and analysis of Their Relations

INTRUDUCTION: This research aimed to study the learning style, information literacy and computer literacy of graduate students.
The survey method was used in this study. Study population consisted of graduate students majoring in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the academic year of 2015-2016. A sample of 150 students participated in the research. Data was collected by learning style questionnaire designed by Felder & Soloman, as well as information literacy (IL) and computer literacy (CL) questionnaires.
FINDINGS: Research findings revealed that there is no difference between IL & CL among male and female students. Also, there is no difference between IL & CL among Master and PhD students. However, IL rate for students was in medium level. Students’ learning style depends on their educational grade, gender and age. There is a direct correlation between IL & CL.
In training IL & CL, educators should consider learning styles of students. Also training courses must be categorized based on student's academic fields, educational grades and gender.
