Research on the Influence of Tutor's Information Behavior on Graduate Students' Digital Literacy ―Analysis Based on Social Learning Theory

Abstract

The arrival of the digital age has a comprehensive impact on universities. The transformation of the research paradigm based on big data has put forward higher requirements for the digital literacy of both tutors and graduate students. At present, domestic researches on the improvement path of digital literacy mostly focus on the “traditional growth point” of specialized literacy courses, ignoring the connection between tutor's digital literacy and graduate students' digital literacy. Based on Bandura's social learning theory, this paper takes the improvement of graduate students' digital literacy as the focus and destination and explores the influence of graduate tutors on graduate students' digital literacy. It is found that the tutor's information behavior has an important influence on the digital literacy of graduate students in the stages of observation, attention, retention and motivation. Facing up to this influence and making it a new growth point is of great significance for tutors and graduate students. In the practice of digital education, we should achieve the organic combination of specialized digital literacy courses and the influence of instructors, so that they work together to enhance the digital literacy of graduate students.
