| Resource Title | Marist School integrated information literacy program (MaSInform program): A study on the integration of library lessons and information literacy skills in a school's curriculum based on the fully integrated collaborative model of integrated curriculum |
| Date Issued | 31 May 2018 |
| Abstract | In the age where information can be accessed anywhere and anytime, information literacy skills are more vital than ever. These skills can be best learned in schools and universities. This is the primary reason why librarians have assumed a new role of equipping pupils with these skills. However, information literacy skills cannot be taught and learned effectively in isolation. These skills will be meaningful and essential if taught together with subjects or lessons related to them. The integration of library instruction in the curriculum can only be effective if librarians and teachers work together. This study has been conceptualized to expand the K-6 Marist School Library Instruction Program through teacher-librarian collaboration. The study designed an integrated information literacy program based on Fully Integrated Collaborative Model of Integrated Curriculum. Through this model, subjects/topics were determined by librarians and teachers. It was also through this model that strategies for teaching library lessons and information literacy skills were determined. The study made use of a quasi-experimental research design for the assessment. One section from Marist School Grade 1-6 was assigned to take the pre-test. The pre-test assessed what pupils know about the topics to be discussed in the Integrated Information Literacy Program. The same test was administered at the end of all the modules. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed through descriptive statistics, difficulty index, and t-test. The study found out that an essential factor in designing an integrated information literacy instruction is the strong collaboration of teachers and librarians. Support of administrators is also vital in the success of implementation of the program. The study also revealed that Grade 1-6 pupils obtained higher scores in post-test compared to pre-test. It further determined that there is a significant difference in the information literacy skills of Grade 1-6 pupils. Thus, it can be discerned that Grade 1-6 pupils information literacy skills improved after attending sessions on information literacy. |
