Development and Validation of the Information Literacy Assessment in Connectivism Learning Environment for Undergraduate Students

Abstract

Connectivism is a new learning theory, which used for designing the world's first Massive Online Open Course (MOOC), and become accepted to be an alternative way to design information literacy (IL) course with information-rich environment. Though there are, few papers have reported the development and validation of a Connectivism assessment tool for undergraduate students. This paper aim to report on the development and validation of the information literacy assessment tools for undergraduate student. The assessment tools consisted of three instruments including (1) IL Test, (2) IL Rubric, and (3) Information Literacy Self-efficacy (ILSE) Scale. Three information literacy experts were selected to validate the content using item objective congruence, and five undergraduate students were selected to validate the face validity. Then thirty undergraduate students were selected to try out the instruments. The results suggested that the development of these tools be appropriate for undergraduate students.
