Investigation on the Development of Undergraduate Academic Literacy and Its Influencing Factors: A Case Study of Students from Beijing Normal University
The cultivation of undergraduate academic literacy is of great significance to the development of universities and students themselves. This research took the undergraduates of Beijing Normal University as an example, investigated the academic literacy level through questionnaire, and explored the impact of digital literacy and social network on academic literacy. This research tested hypotheses and model through variance analysis, regression analysis, structural equation and other data analysis methods, and found that both digital literacy and social network have a significant positive impact on academic literacy, and that digital literacy and social network are mutually intermediary variables. Based on this, suggestions were given for undergraduate academic literacy cultivation.
