Levels of Understanding and the Personal Acceptance of Information in Higher Education.

Ford, Nigel

Studies in Higher Education, v5 n1 p63-70 Mar 1980

A distinction is drawn between students' ability to understand information and their personal acceptance and valuing of that information. Results of a small-scale study are used to suggest that students may differ in their levels of acceptance of information. Ideas regarding possible future research are discussed. (Author/JMD)
