Produktbeschreibung
This text describes the development and validation of
an information literacy assessment scale specific to
education. Information literacy has been recognized
by a number of professional organizations and
accrediting bodies as an essential skill for success
in the 21st century, and consequently has become a
key learning outcome of a number of education
programs. Teacher candidates are expected to teach
and model information literacy skills to their
students, yet rarely is it suggested that they are
adequately prepared to do so. The scale described
herein was developed to measure information literacy
skills in the field of education in an effort to
inform curricular and instructional decisions and to
provide evidence of institutional effectiveness for
program reviews. Test content is based on standards
from the International Society for Technology in
Education (ISTE) and the Association of College and
Research Libraries (ACRL). The work has been
recognized for its technical merit in describing
validation procedures and for revisiting the
discussion of traditional versus modern approaches to
validating cognitive instruments.
