Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of internet information literacy training on university students’ problem solving skills. The sampling frame of this quasi-experimental study included 230 undergraduate students of Islamic Azad University (Ardabil branch) in the academic year 1388-1389. A use was made of simple random sampling to a draw a sample of 50 students. They were then assigned to an experimental group (N=22) and a control group (N=28). Data were collected through using Heppner’ (1988) standardized problem solving questionnaire. A use was made of independent t-test to analyze data. The results of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of problem solving components (problem solving confidence, approach-avoidance style, personal control and problem solving in general). The results of this study can be used to improve student’s problem-solving skills.
