The Relationship

One of the goals of Gerakan Literasi Sekolah was to develop the information literacy skills needed by students to be more critical in receiving and using information because along with the progress of the information age it becomes infinite. This study aims to determine the relationship between inquiry learning models and information literacy of students at SMP Negeri 5 Banjarmasin on the classification of living things. This research is a quasi experiment that uses 7th grade as a population and the sample is selected based on purposive sampling. The data were collected by tests (pretest and posttest) and assessments on student worksheets. The analysis technique used: 1) paired t-test to determine differences in the test results of each class. 2) Unpaired t-test to determine the difference in postest between two classes. 3) correlation test to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results show that there is a significant increase in the test scores in the experimental class of 36.7 and 23.7 in the control class and the postest score of the experimental class is greater 2.97. The correlation test show that percentage of the relationship between the two variables is 88.6%, this means that inquiry learning models has a positive effect on students' information literacy skills.Abstrak Gerakan literasi Sekolah yang digagas oleh pemerintah memiliki tujuan salah satunya yaitu mengembangkan kemampuan literasi informasi yang diperlukan siswa agar menjadi lebih kritis dalam menerima maupun menggunakan informasi karena, seiring dengan kemajuan zaman informasi menjadi tak terbatas.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this action research study was to explore whether enabling work-based students to identify their information literacy (IL) needs and participate in activity design would increase their IL and enhance their academic performance.Design/methodology/approachInitially students reflected on their own knowledge, skills and engagement with IL. Next, they identified aspects of IL that challenged them. Students worked in small groups to identify tasks and activities to enhance their skills. They completed practical IL tasks during a taught session. A scoring rubric assessed student engagement with IL. Concurrently a qualitative questionnaire was developed and used to explore the student experience of the intervention.FindingsThe study found that students did engage with information literacy and there was an improvement in the pass rate from previous cohorts. The qualitative analysis demonstrated that students felt that the interaction had benefitted their engagement with IL and their learning and understanding as a result.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was a small study at one higher education institution and cannot therefore be considered generalizable. It does nevertheless provide valuable insights in terms of student engagement with IL.Practical implicationsThis study influenced the delivery of the subsequent modules. It has the potential to influence the delivery of information literacy skills on health and social care apprenticeships.Originality/valueThis paper adds to the literature exploring the relationship between students and information literacy. Enhancing the discourse from the instructor perspective rather than that of the information professional.

Abstract The current digital environment offers a unique access opportunity to information, tools, and sources for teachers to educate and teach using digital. It is vital for teachers, who have important roles to raise future generations, to have information literacy and digital literacy skills. It is essential that teachers who educate individuals raised with a technology called the Z generation to have both, information literacy and digital literacy skills. Within this context, the present study aims to define the relationship between information literacy skills and digital literacy skills of teachers in the age of digitalization, in which the transformation has been experienced in the education sector. A cross-sectional survey was used within this study, which was prepared according to the quantitative research paradigm. The research includes random and disproportionate cluster sampling methods and focuses on teachers who worked in a preschool, or in primary, secondary and high schools in the Eastern and Southeast Anatolia Regions in the 2018–2019 academic year. Structural equation modeling was used to determine to what extent teachers’ information literacy skills predict their digital literacy skills. The relationship between the teachers’ information literacy and digital literacy skills was calculated using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and the frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation values of the data collected from teachers through scales were calculated. As a result of the analysis, one of the results is that the teachers’ information literacy skills affect their digital literacy skills positively.

In many schools, librarians play a key role in teaching information literacy and inquiry learning. From a survey of Colorado librarians, Keith Curry Lance and Leslie Maniotes learned that librarians who regularly facilitated student-led inquiry activities were also more likely to teach regularly a number of information literacy skills. Librarians who engage in inquiry learning said that support from school leaders and the autonomy to try new things were motivating factors in their inquiry efforts, but they wanted to be more intentional in their use of inquiry and to get more teachers on board. Lance and Maniotes turn to Norman, Oklahoma, for an example of how using a specific inquiry model, in this case Guided Inquiry Design, and providing training and support, can multiply the benefits of the inquiry approach.

Student Learning Experiences

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges for higher education institutions, especially in Indonesia's border areas. The transformation of face-to-face learning models to distance learning models impacts the learning experience of students, especially those who are completing writing research proposals and theses that require adequate information literacy skills. This study aims to explore the effect of student learning experiences on information literacy skills. The research data were obtained from respondents from four universities in Merauke. Purposive sampling technique is used with the criteria of students who have taken research methodology courses and are taking or have taken proposal seminar courses. One hundred respondents have filled out a questionnaire distributed online. Based on the data analysis, learning experiences contributed 17.60% to students' information literacy skills. Furthermore, each increase in student learning experiences will contribute to 0.40% of information literacy skills. These research findings can be valuable information to be developed to the next stage in making modules and learning media that can provide a good quality learning experience to improve student literacy skills, especially in writing research proposals/theses. With this module or learning media, it is hoped that it can prepare students to write research proposals and theses.

The Relationship

This article relates the efforts of faculty at one community college to define standards for achievement of two SLOs (critical thinking and effective communication) and to gather and analyze evidence of how well students meet those standards. Faculty from 13 disciplines assessed writing samples from 264 students. We found that, in general, students with more credits outperformed those with fewer credits. However, many students at every level demonstrated poor information literacy skills, indicating an area for curriculum improvement.
