Web-based information literacy learning design in school

Abstract

Information Literacy (IL) Program is a library program that aims to improve the ability of library users to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. Information literacy learning is essential to be taught and applied in education from the beginning of the school so that students are able to find and organize information effectively and efficiently particularly regard to the school assignment and learning process. At present, various educational institutions began to implement online learning model to improve the quality of teaching and research quality. Due to the advancement of information technology, the information literacy program should be adjusted with the needs of library users. The purpose of this study was to design web-based information literacy learning for school library. This research conducted through several stages which are: identifying the needs of web-based IL, designing web-based IL, determining the model and the contents of a web-based IL tutorial, creating a prototype webbased IL, testing, and usage tutorial prototype IL. The results showed that 77% of respondents stated the need of web-based learning IL. The prototype of web-based learning IL is consisted of six main units using combination of the Big6 Skills model and 7 Concept of Information Literacy by Shapiro and Hughes. The main sixth units are Library Values, Literacy Resource, Literacy Research, Organization of Information, Critical Literacy and Publishing Literacy. In testing phase the prototype of IL web-based worked properly. After passing the test, the prototype of IL web-based could be used through hyperlink in web school network. This prototype web-based information literacy is expected to support the information literacy learning in a holistic approach.
