Effects of Learning Style and Training Method on Computer Attitude and Performance in World Wide Web Page Design Training

Abstract

The present study compared the effects of two training methods on computer attitude and performance in a WWW page design program by a field experiment. Results indicated that the instruction-based approach outperformed in the skill-based test of WWW page design functions, whereas the example-based approach reported significantly higher computer attitude. An interaction between personal learning style (decomposed into information perception and information processing) and training condition was reported. Implications for training interventions are discussed.
