Abstract
The purposes of this research were to 1) study information behavior for learning cultural heritage of students at Bunditpatanasilpa Institute of Fine Arts and 2) explore problems and obstacles regarding information seeking and use of the students. The sample group was 264 undergraduate students, years 1-4, semester 1, Academic Year 2023 of the head branch, Bunditpatanasilpa Institute of Fine Arts. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics used in data analysis were percentages, means, and standard deviations.
It was found that the overall picture of the information behavior of the students was at the highest level ( = 4.23, S.D. = 0.75). In terms of information needs, it was at the highest level (
= 4.33, S.D. = 0.71), mainly related to Thai arts and culture protection and preservation. In the aspect of information seeking, it was at a high level (
= 4.14, S.D. = 0.78), and most students sought information from reliable sources. In terms of information use, it was at a high level (
= 4.21, S.D. = 0.78). Students used the information in learning and conducting their reports, thesis and performance. The information on cultural heritage they chose was from various sources such as people, institutions, places, mass media, and the Internet. In regard to the problems and obstacles, the researcher found that the overall picture was at a high level (
= 3.77, S.D. = 0.90). In terms of problems and obstacles in seeking information, it was at a moderate level (
= 3.14, S.D. = 1.09), in which most students needed more information technology tools in seeking information, and there were no responsible departments in collecting and storing the related information. It was at a moderate level for problems and obstacles in utilizing information (
= 3.02, S.D. = 1.13). Students found it difficult to access most cultural heritage information due to intellectual property issues.
