-Shallow information literacy and cultivation of information literacy
Peng Xiaoqing of Urumqi No.10 Middle School
In the information age, information literacy is becoming a hot spot to examine the quality of modern people, and it is an essential ability for people in the information age.
First, the concept of information literacy
Information literacy is the extension and expansion of traditional cultural literacy, which is mainly composed of information consciousness and information ethics, information knowledge and information ability. Information ability is the core of information literacy, including information acquisition, information analysis and information processing. Improving people's information literacy cultivates people's attitude and methods of autonomous learning, which enables people to have critical spirit, strong sense of social responsibility and participation, awareness and ability to pursue and use new information, to capture information from rapidly changing things by scientific methods, and to extend and create new information from easily overlooked phenomena.
Under the realistic background of information overload, information literacy has been paid more and more attention by countries all over the world, and has gradually joined the educational objectives and evaluation system at all levels, becoming an important index to evaluate the comprehensive quality of talents.
1, information literacy is an ever-developing comprehensive concept.
Information literacy has different terms: computer literacy, information literacy, media literacy, information ability, digital literacy, "Internet literacy", "electronic literacy" and other related terms. It can be seen that information literacy is a comprehensive concept with wide meaning and continuous development. It includes not only the basic skills of obtaining, identifying, processing, transmitting and creating information by using contemporary information technology, but also the ability of autonomous learning and the consciousness of innovation, criticism, social responsibility and participation in the new environment created by contemporary information technology. Foreign information literacy education pays more attention to humanistic and social factors, based on information acquisition and information organization, and pays attention to the cultivation of social morality, legal awareness and innovation ability.
How to determine when information is needed, and have the ability to retrieve, evaluate, identify and effectively use the required information. This is the most cited definition of information literacy, which embodies two aspects of information literacy: technical skills and thinking skills.
Obviously, in addition to the original knowledge, information literacy should also pay attention to two aspects: exploring information awareness and collecting information skills: from the technical level, information literacy reflects people's well-known awareness and ability to use information; From the humanistic level, information literacy also reflects people's psychological state of facing information, which can also be said to be the cultivation of facing information. If more specific, starting from technical skills and thinking skills, information literacy should at least include the following aspects:
1, need to have the will and ability to explore new information, and have the subjective will to obtain new information.
2. Sensitivity When faced with a lot of complicated information, it is highly sensitive to judge the value of information.
3. Discrimination is based on one's own knowledge, and can correctly distinguish and evaluate the obtained information.
4. Obtain and master advanced information acquisition tools, and strive to maximize the use efficiency.
5, master flexible control information, better grasp and filter invalid information skills.
6. Expression can effectively use information, be good at expressing ideas and be willing to communicate with others.
7. Innovation has innovative consciousness and enterprising characteristics. Be good at using all kinds of information to solve problems.
The starting point and end result of the above discussion on information literacy is the mainstream thought in the field of information research at present.
Second, cultivate information literacy.
1, the elements of information literacy education
Information literacy is an advanced cognitive skill, and information literacy education should include two dimensions: technical skills and humanistic ethics, which is a comprehensive education. Information literacy education should not only be carried out in the field of information technology, but also penetrate into the application of information technology-assisted teaching and information technology education management in various courses. The humanistic ethics of information literacy and cognitive tools are integrated into every subject education as teaching content. While learning and mastering professional knowledge, improve learners' information literacy. It has become an inevitable trend of current education reform to carry out information literacy education and cultivate learners' information awareness and information ability.
Therefore, based on scholars' research and their own experience in modern educational technology experiments, information literacy is firstly the content of knowledge and attitude, that is, knowledge and attitude towards information, information society and educational informatization, which is a kind of literacy that modern people must have; Secondly, information ability, that is, practical literacy, is the ability of people to understand and use various information technologies, that is, the ability to acquire, understand, analyze, process, process, create and transmit information, which is the basic content of information literacy.
2. Ways and means to improve information literacy
The development of education tends to be networked, virtualized and digitized, and all disciplines are building or owning their own network resource libraries or websites. Multimedia and computer network should be used in teaching, and learners should be encouraged to use computer network to collect, analyze and evaluate information related to teaching. In teaching, we should pay attention to cultivating learners' ability to follow the new development trend of this subject and integrate these into the results of this course. Learners' independent research learning is the best way to implement information literacy education, that is, to cultivate people's research ability, information skills, problem-solving ability and cooperative spirit. Teachers only assign learning tasks to learners at different learning stages, and learners choose and decide their own learning methods, thus broadening learners' learning space, realizing the individualization of education and improving learners' information literacy in problem solving. Specifically, it can be carried out from the following angles:
(1), the integration of information science and technology principles and operational skills in professional courses. Information literacy should be one of the same survival abilities as "reading, writing and calculating" in traditional culture. Without information literacy, people will become functional illiterates in the information society and be eliminated by the information society. Therefore, one of the ways to improve information literacy is to master the basic principles and operational skills of information science and technology; While studying this major, I am good at using all kinds of information technology hardware, mastering the use of commonly used information technology software, mastering the collection method of learning resources in this major on the network, understanding the development method of application software in this major, and being familiar with other information technology knowledge outside computers and networks. Obviously, information technology with computer, network and multimedia as its core has become a "universal intelligent tool for human beings". It is this tool and its culture that make human development flourish and full of vitality in the information society.
(2) Adding information ethics education to humanities education. No matter who creates and develops knowledge products, or who uses these knowledge products, they must have a high sense of social responsibility, all need to follow certain codes of conduct, all must follow the moral norms of information users and must not engage in illegal activities. Modern information society requires modern people to have information ethics consciousness and use information technology such as computers to solve various problems in work, study and life. The important contents put forward by the information society for the quality of talents should be "the ability to absorb, process and create information, organize the utilization and planning of resources" and "the organizational ability to compete, be good at cooperation and coordinate progress in the information environment", that is, information ethics. Make a correct judgment in the face of various values information, choose the information you need, and develop in a healthy direction. Information literacy is a kind of scientific and cultural literacy which covers a wide range, is characterized by obtaining, evaluating and utilizing information, and integrates traditional and modern cultural literacy. It should be an ability system that organically combines ideology, cultural accumulation, mental ability and information technology. The development of the information age strongly shows that it is an inevitable trend to add information ethics education to humanistic education.
(3) Using continuing education and lifelong education to improve the ability of deep mining of information resources. The deep mining of information resources is mainly the ability to accurately collect, organize, express and process information, which requires in-depth retrieval, scientific analysis and processing in the vast ocean of information, so that seemingly useless information can produce extraordinary effects; For example, we can expand the scope of cooperation through various information networks, make full use of information technology tools to learn subject knowledge, and build innovative research capabilities of new knowledge. Information literacy education focuses on cultivating learners' ability to put forward various solutions to a problem. On the basis of mastering the problem-solving ability, lifelong learners constantly pursue new heights, constantly improve their abilities in all aspects, take the initiative to ask questions for themselves, and then solve problems independently. They can not only search for target information in the information ocean, but also update their knowledge structure through deep mining of information resources. Innovative thinking ability is not only the advanced accomplishment of modern people, but also determines the rise and fall of the whole nation. The cultivation of innovative thinking can start with innovative learning environment, innovative learning methods and innovative learning situations. Finally, information literacy education should also be able to determine its own goals. Generally speaking, learners do not find a goal for their own learning methods, but only follow the requirements of the instructor, so they have no initiative in learning methods. Learners with good information literacy should be able to find their own learning style goals.
Therefore, cultivating good information literacy has become a hot spot to examine people's quality and is a necessary way to improve humanistic quality. For the development and progress of mankind, let us strive to improve the overall quality, and information technology should bear the brunt!
