| Popis: | 92 Due to the fact that it is an information era, information has become an important tool of every citizen. Like all the other countries, our government makes every effort to promote the information literacy of citizens. The study aims to investigate the information literacy of elementary school students at the present stage and other relevant factors, and to understand whether elementary school students have enough ability to take advantage of information and information technology to problem-solving, independent learning, and life-long learning. Based on the findings, I will make some suggestions to the authorities concerned, schools, teachers, and parents by providing insights to how to enhance students’information capability. The study makes reference to the literature and designs the instrument: A study on the Information Literacy of Elementary School Students: With an Example in Paikong of Yunlin County. After giving the questionnaire to the elementary school students, the statistics reveals that the fifth and sixth grade students in Paikong have information literacy beyond average. The information literacy will be affected by relevant factors, including gender, the attendance of computer curriculum outside of school, weekly use of computers, the support from the parents, access to the computer or Internet at home, and exposure of books or magazines about computers. The results of the study show that it will be beneficial if the authorities concerned can finance the schools or community library to set up the computer network environment in each school and strengthen the software and hareware facility. Teachers are encouraged to promote their own information literacy. Furthermore, it is suggested that parents take their children to the library to read books or find information. By doing this, we can promote students’ information literacy. |
