Developing strategies to create information literate Thai students

Abstract

Purpose – This article aims at developing strategies to create information literacy skills among the Thai students and studying the results of the strategies through implementation. Research methodologies - Documentary research, focus group interviews, interviewing, and quasi-experiment were used. Key informants included resource persons in the field related to information literacy, school administrators, teacher-librarians as well as groups of teachers, students from two selected schools. Data was analyzed using content analysis, IOC and presented descriptively with charts. Findings – Strategies to create information literate students were presented in the form of a model called “Five alliances to create information literate Thai students.”The model comprised the strategies to be adopted by the government and related ministries, local administrations / educational subdistrict areas, schools, families and community, and mass media. Teacher- librarians play important roles in conducting library activities and have been seen as partners with subject teachers in integrating information literacy in the curriculum especially in the teaching learning process to promote students’ information literacy skills.
