Popis: Improving undergraduates' information literacy level is the focus of contemporary higher education authorities. The information literacy level of undergraduates forms the core of the 21st-century talents and skills, and it is also an important factor influencing other skills. The cultivation of individual information literacy is influenced by both individual subjective factors and external objective factors. Based on the social constructivism theory, this study explores the influence of internal subjective factors (information processing dimension of learning style) and external objective factors (social media behaviour) on undergraduates' information literacy level through quantitative questionnaire data analysis. This study constructs a model of the internal and external influencing factors of undergraduates' information literacy level and proposes four hypotheses. The results verify the four hypotheses and prove the rationality of the model construction. In addition, suggestions are provided for individual undergraduates, high school management, and the concerned authorities of the social cultural environment.
