The need for students to develop effective
Information Literacy skills has become of increasing importance
with the explosion of information in the Internet age.
The Curriculum Framework (1998) sets Information
Literacy as one of the Overarching Learning Outcomes:
| Students recognise when and what
information is needed, locate and obtain it from a range
of sources and evaluate, use and share it with others. |
|
By achieving this outcome, students will be better able to become
lifelong learners.
To achieve this outcome teachers must provide students with
learning experiences that develop their students' information
literacy skills.
- frame and clarify
questions
- locate and collect
information from a range of sources
- organise the information
and represent it in ways suited
both to the type of information
and to their purposes
- analyse and interpret
information, judge its quality
and decide what conclusions or
inferences might reasonably be
drawn from it
- use and share the
information with others
