Information Literacy Skills: Teacher Understandings and Practice
Probert, Elizabeth
Computers & Education, v53 n1 p24-33 Aug 2009
This article reports on a project, involving three New Zealand schools, which investigated teachers' understanding of information literacy and their associated classroom practices. Recently published work, while lamenting school students' lack of information literacy skills, including working with online resources, provides little research investigating classroom teachers' knowledge of information literacy skills and their related pedagogical practice. The findings of this project indicate that while some of the teachers in this project had a reasonably good understanding of the concept of information literacy, very few reported developing their students' information literacy skills. (Contains 3 figures.)
