Information refers to the data that has been collected, processed, and interpreted in order to be
presented in a useable form. It is a broad term that can cover processed data, knowledge derived from
study, experience, instruction, signals or symbols. In the media world, information is often used to
describe knowledge of specific events or situations that has been gathered or received by
communication, intelligence, or news reports.

Activity II. Disaster Scenario

Instructions:
1. Ask the learners to read the following scenario:

“According to the weather forecast, there is no typhoon. However, General Santos City is experiencing
heavy rainfall, while some parts in SOCCSKSARGEN region are already flooded. There are reported
incidents of landslide, evacuation, stranded vehicles and drowning. As a student, what are you going to
do?”

2. Ask the learners to answer the matrix below.

Information Needs
 What information do you need?
Sources of Information
Where will you get them?
Access of Information
How will you access them?
Evaluate Information
How will you check the quality of information?
Organize Information
How will you organize and store them?
Communicate Information
How will you create and communicate them?
Say: “Questions that you have just answered are the Stages or Elements of Information Literacy.”

Information Literacy 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. It refers to
the ability to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, effectively use and communicate
ANALYSIS
information in its various formats.

STAGES / ELEMENT OF INFORMATION LITERACY

ABSTRACTION Ethical Use of Information

Say: “There are times when you need to share information that you have acquired from various sources
written by different authors. It is inevitable to directly quote their words in order to preserve their meaning.
However, quoting someone else's words without giving credit to the author essentially gives an impression
that you are claiming ownership of the words they have said. This is called plagiarism.”
 Plagiarism: Using other people’s words and ideas without clearly acknowledging the source of the
information
 Common Knowledge: Facts that can be found in numerous places and are likely to be widely known.
Example: John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1960. This is generally known
information. You do not need to document this fact.
 Interpretation: You must document facts that are not generally known, or ideas that interpret facts.
Example: Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever to have played the game . This idea is not
a fact but an interpretation or an opinion. You need to cite the source.
  Quotation: Using someone’s words directly. When you use a direct quote, place the passage between
quotation marks, and document the source according to a standard documenting style.
Example: According to John Smith in The New York Times, “37% of all children under the age of 10 live
below the poverty line”. You need to cite the source.
 Paraphrase: Using someone’s ideas, but rephrasing them in your own words. Although you will use your
own words to paraphrase, you must still acknowledge and cite the source of the information.

Remember:
a. Plagiarism has legal implications. While ideas themselves are not copyrightable, the artistic expression of
an idea automatically falls under copyright when it is created. Under fair use, small parts may be copied
without permission from the copyright holder. However, even under fair use - in which you can use some
parts of the material for academic or non-profit purposes - you must attribute the original source. What is
considered fair use is rather subjective and can vary from country to country.
b. Strategies in Avoiding Plagiarism
 Submit your own work for publication. You need to cite even your own work.
 Put quotation marks around everything that comes directly from the text and cite the source.
 Paraphrase, but be sure that you are not simply rearranging or replacing a few words and cite the
source.
 Keep a source journal, a notepad, or note cards- annotated bibliographies can be especially beneficial
 Use the style manual in properly citing sources
 Get help from the writing center or library
Activity III. Academic Field Trip

Instructions:
1. Say “Your group is tasked to plan an academic trip. List pertinent information on two possible
APPLICATION destinations (somewhere within General Santos City or its neighboring municipalities)”.
2. Ask learners to reflect first on the following considerations for them to effectively present valid and
reliable information:
 Identify the information needed – what, where, who, when, why, how (elements or stages of
 information literacy).
 Determine all the possible sources, select the best sources – the world wide web, travel guide books,
brochures, maps and atlases, tour bureaus, family members, and friends.
 Locate and find information within the sources – blogs, travel reviews, posts from social networking
sites, travel features, pictures, stories, and testimonials.
 Extract the best relevant information and cite pertinent sources
