Media Information Literacy

LESSON 1
Information Literacy
As a review, we already discussed what Information Literacy is. It is defined as the
ability to recognize when information is needed, and to locate, evaluate, and effectively communicate
information in its various formats. Therefore, it is a set of individual competencies needed to identify,
evaluate and use information in the most ethical, efficient and effective way across all domains, occupations
and professions.

Stages/ Elements of Information Literacy

Take note that the concept is appropriately divided into stages as to one cannot
proceed with the next step, unless the initial step is not satisfied. It can be considered as elements, since each
one must be exhibited in an individual if we consider a one as information literate.
Let us just consider a situation relevant to your experience as SHS student,
particularly your task on your subject in Practical Research. First thing that you need to do is to look for a
specific need, a problem that needs resolution (Stage 1) which will serve as the moving reason for your
research. Let’s just say you want to look into students’ reading comprehension. Stage 2 requires that you
must determine if there are available materials for your references, whether they be in hard or soft copies,
digital or otherwise. Definitely, once you have determined your information sources, like the internet, books,
journals, and the like, you must cite these sources appropriately in order to not be charged with plagiarism.
Stage 4 is all about analyzing and evaluating which from the varied information available are relevant to
your research topic, and which are not valuable enough for use. This stage requires a full understanding of
the topic or need that you need to resolve. Stage 5 requires knowledge as to the preservation and storage of
the information that you have acquired. You may store these on a flash drive, or maybe print or photocopy
the information for your reference. Stage 6 is all about the proper way of using the information that you have
acquired that will be beneficial to a large number of people. The ethical and legal side of using referenced
materials then comes into question. Finally, you will have to decide then as to the manner of communicating
the information to the vast majority of the people. Definitely as an output of your Practical Research, you
need to have this printed and bounded before submitting to your teacher.
