Abstract | Information is extremely vital for human existence, however, searching for the right information at a particular point in time is quite challenging. In the context of this research, information-seeking behaviour of parents entails the kind of behaviour that parents exhibit in order to have access to the required information for their child with intellectual disability (ID). There is a paucity of literature with respect to information-seeking behaviour of parents of children with ID. The present study intends to close this lacuna by exploring the information-seeking behaviour of parents of students with ID in the Nigerian context. Through a qualitative research approach, six (6) participants who were selected using a purposive sampling technique were studied. The instrument for data collection was a semi-structured interview. Three themes emerged from the data analysis. The study showed that information-seeking behaviour of parents of students with ID is characterised by consulting close family members, friends, professionals, reading books and surfing internet. Therefore, the study established the framework of information-seeking behaviour of parents of students with ID in the Nigerian context. (As Provided). |
