ABSTRACT

In modern society, even if rural people are no longer strangers to computer, the problems concerning the service efficiency of Computer in rural areas and the Computer use education for peasants also arise accordingly. By combining macro-level sampling questionnaire survey and micro-level observational interview with regular evaluation, this study places the interviewees from rural areas in the organizational system of Computer use education, to investigate the recognition and service condition of rural network Computer and sum up the various problems existing in the development of Computer in rural areas. According to the data obtained from continuous assessments, it makes analysis on the awareness and usage degree of media in different locations and at different times. This study shows that the Computer use education in rural areas presents a self-construal form with interpersonal communication oriented. For this, we should introduce a multiple organization structure, thereby to promote peasants’ right of discourse in network Computer, so as to really promote peasants’ initiative and actual ability in participation in social development.
