New Interpretation

This article explores a literature review on different proposals to assess media and information literacy (MIL) competencies in citizens seeking to define the fundamental MIL skills and competencies to be considered in national curricula and assessment schemes. The study is based on qualitative content analysis to map and systematize the main MIL frameworks, research reports, and their practical applications/experiences. This qualitative technique allows the combination of categories (dimensions) and correlation of individual indicators (skills and capabilities) to group subcategories (components). The study inquires Unesco’s framework, as well as the authors upon which this theoretical approach was built, together with the European Commission’s views on media education. It gathers their principal propositions on media competence assessment and sets a reflection on information literacy and Educommunication as a contribution strongly developed in the Ibero-American context. A broad analysis of digital competencies related to media and information literacy is also included in the study. A new interpretation is given to the studied concepts to draw a structured systematization of competences on media and information literacy that sets a framework to assess and design MIL programs, actions or curricula. Finally, it proposes a map of skills and competences in MIL that allows the future creation of methodologies and strategies for the visibility, promotion, strengthening or evaluation of MIL.

The Relationship

Information literacy is regarded as the basis for learning in our contemporary environment of rapid and sophisticated technological change. As information and communication technologies develop rapidly, and the information environment becomes increasingly complex, educators are recognizing the needs for learners to engage with the information environment as part of their formal learning processes. The achievement of lifelong learning and making citizens become information literate is the target of many nations as far as millennium development goals and vision 2015 are concerned. This chapter presents a literature review on information literacy and lifelong learning pointing out the relationship between the two and their benefits, and finally, the chapter makes recommendations to improve both programs.

Key Aspects

There is a need for short and easily administered measures for assessing students’ levels of information literacy, as currently existing measures are long and cumbersome. We have therefore created a suite of tools, the “Tromsø Information Literacy Suite” (TROILS), for information literacy assessment. This suite of tools is freely available on an open platform for others to both use, adapt, and supplement.  In this presentation, we introduce four TROILS assessment tools:  1. a survey for assessing students’ knowledge of key aspects of information literacy  2. a survey for measuring how interested students are in being/becoming information literate individuals  3. an annotated bibliography for assessing students’ abilities to critically evaluate information sources  4. a rubric for assessing students’ use of sources in their written work  Together, these tools measure what students know, feel, and do regarding key facets of information literacy. We will discuss the tools’ development and present preliminary results of tests with students in higher education in Norway.  Both surveys were developed using procedures intended to ensure acceptable psychometric measurement properties. These included expert consultation for content validity, student think-aloud-protocols for readability, item selection based on a pilot sample, exploratory factor analysis, estimates of reliability and criterion validity. The final surveys were deployed during the fall semester and will be used longitudinally to measure students’ progress over three years.   Results from the annotated bibliography (source evaluation) and the rubric (source documentation) were compared with survey results to see whether what the students actually do in their coursework correlates with what they know, based on the survey.

Metacognitive Tools

Despite the popularity of metacognitive research, and the inclusion of similar concepts in professional guidelines, librarians have not incorporated metacognitive tools into their assessment strategies. This systematic literature review found (1) metacognitive assessments can act as a learning aide in encouraging higher-order thinking; (2) metacognitive assessments can be effective measurements under proper conditions with experienced learners; and (3) librarians have limited options when selecting assessment tools even as the demand for demonstrating the library’s value to stakeholders is increasing. The paper concludes with gaps in the literature and areas for future directions.
