The current thesis is concerned with investigating students' adjustments to the use of IT in their university studies, through three specific foci: Viz, (a) to document students' patterns of IT usage, (b) to identify factors which influence students' use of IT in a university environment, and (c) to investigate problem solving strategies that students use when encountering difficulties in IT. Three empirical studies were conducted. The current thesis found that given appropriate opportunities, students do make successful adjustments to use of IT during their university studies. Although indigenous students rated their competencies lower than non-indigenous students, no significant differences were found between ethnicity and the types of problem solving strategies that students used in IT. / thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2003.
