Information literacy

shared by Tania Hinojosa on 25 Feb 12 - Cached
  • In today’s technology-rich environment, physical access to information has never been easier. Intellectual access however, can be denied to the student who does not possess the cognitive strategies for selecting, retrieving, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, creating, and communicating.
  • The accepted definition of literacy has evolved from being able to read and write to the expanded and more elaborate ability to address the practices and outcomes of education in the Information Age. Literacy is referred to in different terms: math literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, print literacy, visual literacy, cultural literacy, computer literacy. Each literacy prescribes a particular process by which that content area can be more easily negotiated. But there is one -- Information Literacy -- under which all the other literacies reside because it is a tool of empowerment. Students who possess information literacy have a heightened capacity for doing meaningful, relevant work. "Regardless of where information literacy skills are employed, they are applicable in any school, play, or work situation."
  • From linear to hypermedia learning - Students move back and forth between information sources in an interactive and non-sequential way. From direct instruction

  • to construction and discovery - Instead of absorbing knowledge as it’s delivered by a teacher, the student constructs new knowledge. He learns by doing.
  • From teacher-centered to learner-centered. - Focus is on the learner, not the delivery-person. Instead of transmitting information, the teacher now creates and structures what happens in the classroom.
  • From absorbing pre-selected facts to discovering relevant information - This demands higher-order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis. From school-based to life-based learning - A learner’s knowledge base is constantly revised through life experiences, and schools can prepare students for this eventuality. From uniform instruction to customized learning - Students find personal paths to learning. From learning as torture to learning as fun - The student is motivated to learn, and feels more responsible for his progress. From teacher as transmitter to teacher as facilitator.
  • When technology is responsibly and effectively used in the classroom, students learn faster and in more depth.

      I like Bill and Sheila for creating this great site for infolit!
  • These pages are produced by Sheila Webber, who teaches at Sheffield University, and Bill Johnston, who teaches at Strathclyde University (see who we are and what these pages are for, below). New on 3 September 2006. I am giving these pages an overhaul! The Definitions and models and Standards and position papers were updated today (3 Sept 2006), with new content added and links checked. I also did some content updating of the Resources and the Our views and publications pages, and corrected the links both for those and the Learning and Teaching Resources page. I removed a couple of the old sections (Events and People). The remaining sections were last updated in 2003, but I do intend to overhaul them too. For events, news, reports etc. I recommend looking on my Information Literacy weblog which normally has about 5 entries added a week.

      interesting survey on how others perceive information literacy
  • how are terms like ‘metaliteracy, ‘transliteracy’, ‘information literacy’, and other literacies understood in the library profession?
  • The number of alternative “literacies” has seemed to explode over the past few years, and the article does a great job of reining competing literacies in and organizing them under a more manageable conceptual framework.

  • SHIFTS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING In an information literate environment, students engage in active, self-directed learning activities, and teachers facilitate students' engagement through a more adventurous style of instructional delivery. Students involved in information literate activities:  --seek a rich range of information sources;  --communicate an understanding of content;  --pose questions about the content being learned;  --use the environment, people, and tools for learning;  --reflect on their own learning;  --assess their own learning; and  --take responsibility for their own learning. These students feel good about themselves as learners, and they leave school feeling passionate about some content.

      Good definition of Information Literacy
  • Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques.

      a great article discussing information literacy with young readers
  • Research and information literacy is something students work on throughout their school career. It's a collection of skills that, when combined, means that a learner is able to find, understand, evaluate and use information. Interest in information literacy grew out of a need to create learners for the 21st century. Here you'll find information about two ways to begin to develop information literacy in your child.
  • Parents and teachers can help children develop research and information literacy by sharing their love of learning. Encourage their curiosity about the world and desire to find out more. At the same time, help them become wise consumers of the information they find. These are skills that will last a lifetime.

  • There is clear and widespread agreement among the public and educators that all students need to be proficient computer users or "computer literate." However, while districts are spending a great deal of money on technology, there seems to be only a vague notion of what computer literacy really means. Can the student who operates a computer well enough to play a game, send e-mail or surf the Web be considered computer literate? Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education?

The productivity side of computer use in the general content area curriculum is neglected or grossly underdeveloped (Moursund, 1995). Recent publications by educational associations are advocating for a more meaningful use of technology in schools (ISTE, 2000). Educational technologists are clearly describing what students should know and be able to do with technology. They are advocating integrating computer skills into the content areas, proclaiming that computer skills should not be taught in isolation and that separate "computer classes" do not really help students learn to apply computer skills in meaningful ways.

  • Information literacy has been known by many different names: library orientation; bibliographic instruction; user education; information skills training.  Each has built on the other.  Library orientation concentrates on how to use a physical building and bibliographic instruction and user education on the mechanics of using particular resources.  Information skills training and finally information literacy concentrates on cognitive and transferable skills, such as problem solving, evaluation and communication skills.

      Powerful message and worth remembering
  • Empowerment of people through information and media literacy is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and knowledge, and building inclusive knowledge societies. Information and media literacy enables people to interpret and make informed judgments as users of information and media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right.
  • A particular focus will be on training teachers to sensitize them to the importance of information and media literacy in the education process, enable them to integrate information and media literacy into their teaching and provide them with appropriate pedagogical methods and curricula.
