Synopsis

Information communication technologies (ICT) have long been important in supporting doctoral study. Though ICTs have been integrated into educational practices at all levels, there is little understanding of how effective these technologies are in supporting resource development for students and researchers in academic institutions.

Enhancing the Role of ICT in Doctoral Research Processes is a collection of innovative research that identifies the ways that doctoral supervisors and students perceive the role of ICTs within the doctoral research process and supports the development of guidelines to enhance ICT skills within these programs. While highlighting topics including professional development, online learning, and ICT management, this book is ideally designed for academicians, researchers, and professionals seeking current research on ICT use for doctoral research.

About this title

About the Author

Kwong Nui Sim ’s research is focused on ICT beliefs and practices held by students as they undertake their tertiary education. What is the role of ICT among undergraduate students in their daily study practice? How does ICT play a role in postgraduate students' day-to-day research practice? ICT literacy could be a significant aspect in today's tertiary learning context. Therefore, studies on students' ICT literacy offer a new perspective in the emerging area of research on ICT utilisation and integration in tertiary education. At the same time, Kwong Nui also has a growing interest in the ICT beliefs and practices held by university staff members in their daily working life. The use of ICT is likely to be a learning process for our everyday work in today’s complex world, thus she is very interested to investigate the complicated relationship between staff members and their use of ICT in their daily working practice.
