Pre-Training
Self-Concept and Computer Skills Learning Outcomes of Hong Kong
Chinese with Physical Disability
S. Tam |
The
present study examined the relationships between the trainees' pre-training
self-concepts and their post-training computer skills learning outcomes
in a 15-week training programme for 31 persons who have physical
disability. Results showed that pre-training general and specific
self-concepts have statistically significant main effect on their
computer skills learning outcomes. The results might suggest there
is a causal dominance of self-concept over skills achievement; specific
self-concepts are effective predictors of computer skills learning
outcomes of persons with physical disabilities; and positive self-concept
acts as a buffer to challenging life experiences.
