Although it is widely believed that information literacy (IL) competencies are useful in helping students perform better in their schoolwork and beyond, limited empirical evidence is available showing the relationship between IL competencies and IL education. While a lot of research has been done worldwide and most of the findings have proven that IL is a much-needed skill by students, little research has been conducted on IL teaching approaches or what is termed IL pedagogy. To date, studies on IL have mainly focused only on students’ information skills per se, on library skills or on ICT education. None of these studies has assessed the different approaches to IL education. This paper provides an overview of a research study that investigates the impact of an IL teaching approach in the form of personalised coaching, which is grounded in the pedagogy known as mediated learning, on students’ level and applicability of IL competencies. Through the application of a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design, as well as student responses in the post-experiment semi-structured group interviews, it was found that personalised coaching (or mediated learning) helps students perform better in the learning and application of IL competencies.

Daun binahong dapat menjadi alternatif terapi komplementer pada ibu nifas yang mengalami luka robekan perineum.   One of the main causes of maternal death in developing countries is puerperal infection. Midwifery care, body immunity, postnatal care, nutrition, anemia and genetalia hygiene are factors that trigger puerperal infections. The perineal rupture if not treated properly will cause an infection in the suture wound in the perineum. Wound care is important because germs can enter through the suture marks on the perineum and cause infection. Non-pharmacological therapies that can be used to accelerate wound healing are Anredera cordifolia. The research design was quasi experimental with posttest approach Only Control Group Design, namely data collection was done after treatment. The total sample was 32 postpartum mothers according to inclusion criteria. The data observed in this study were the degree of healing of perineal wounds using the REEDA scale perineal wound healing observation sheet instrument (Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge and Approximation). Based on the results of the Mann Whitney test, the mean rank of the results in the treatment group was 11.83 lower than the control group, namely 21.8 (p-value = 0.001). Effect of giving Anredera cordifolia leaves on the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers significantly. Care with giving Anredera cordifolia leaves can accelerate the healing of perineal wounds compared to 10% iodine povidone.
