, TITLE:
LEARNING IN THE INFORMATION AGE

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCUS OF CONTROL AND UBUNTU AND

WHETHER THESE NOTIONS RELATE TO LEARNING STYLE OF LEARNERS

FOR LIFE – A CORRELATION STUDY.


ABSTRACT:
Human populations in the modern era are called lifelong learners due to their need and ease

of access to information. However, in South Africa socio-economic problems plague the

country and thus making learning difficult and often unattainable. This study explores the

relationship between Ubuntu and locus of control, their relationship to an adult individual’s

learning style in order to make learning easier for the general population. A convenience

sampling method was selected by using twenty individuals from a variety of backgrounds,

age, cultures, languages, and gender. Each individual was asked to complete four

questionnaires. A correlation analysis technique was used to determine the relationship

between ubuntu and locus of control and whether these notions relate to an individual’s

learning style. The results showed a significant link between locus of control and Ubuntu.

KEY WORDS: Ubuntu, locus of control, learning style, convenience sampling, correlation
