Digital Information Literacy in a Knowledge Based Society
NAGANO Kazuo
University of the Sacred HeartJapan
No one would disagree that preparing infrastructure for information access as educational environment is urgent issue
What is Literacy ?
What dose Literacy mean ?“Literacy” means “the fundamental abilities
which is necessary for all people to live a social life”
-- should be learned in schools
the main topics of my speech are
• what is fundamental abilities needed for living in an information society,
• what is the learning objectives needed for information ages in school
The society of Information AgeTheir world of computer usage is not the same as our ages
Human access ability is quite limited be able to access = be able to get ??
500bytes x 60min x 5hours x 365 days x 60 years
= 3,285,000,000 3.3 Gigabytes
How many bites could he read in his life?
Human access ability is quite limited be able to access = be able to get ??
500bytes x 60min x 5hours x 365 days x 60 years
= 3,285,000,000 3.3 Gigabytes
How many bites could he read in his life?
How many students could communicate at once through the Internet
Max students for one topic information exchange was between 30-40 students and between 3-4 schools.
Computer based communicationOnly• access to information sources beyond time and distance. • communicate each other over the physical distance.• express the own idea or knowledge in public.
Not expanding of ability of human beings themselves !
In our future society,
• the amount of information traffic will continue to increase rapidly with broadband networks and big data storage
• We will be possible to access necessary information with mobile multimedia terminals, whenever, wherever we needed."
We expect the talent person in information age• who can respond to changing situation• who can search for new information to make
accurate decisions.
1. judgment eyes for selecting valuable information2. wisdom to manage that information.
literacy in school = 3Rs ?
• reading, writing and arithmetic• Listening and speaking ??
two different aspects of literacy - To be learned from practice or training
- To be acquired in through interactive opportunities
Listening and speaking have been learned through communication with the environment in the first few years of life.
Two types of Information Literacy
understanding significance in our society
ex; information ethics, the importance of information
1. Skills that needs training to master
like “reading, writing, and calculating”
2. Skills acquired interactively
by providing learning environment
like “Listening and Speaking” how to use equipment and software
touch tipping and programming
we have to prepare enough time and enough chance for interactive environment between students and well-designed interface software at first stage
• make appropriate judgements regarding information,• How to use information devices• solve issues through interpersonal communication
The ability for all people
Information Literacy for all (not career education )Japanese National Curriculum 2002
the curriculum introduced a new segment titled "the comprehensive learning period.“
for problem-solving approach, 2-3 hours per week
A. Practical ability of using Information -- to collect, manage, create, transmit necessary
information, including appropriate use of computers and the internet depending on the issue and purpose
B. Scientific understanding of information -- such as basic theories and mechanisms of
computer network.
C. Ability to participate in an information-oriented society
--Understanding the social role, influence of information, or ethics and responsibilities regarding how to handle information.
List up details of objectives of ICT Education
■A: Practical ability of using Information The ability to collect, evaluate, express, manage, and cr
eate necessary information proactively, including appropriate use of computers and the internet depending on the issue and purpose, and transmit information with consideration for the receiver's situation
(1) Expressing and communicating Information(2) Using Information in Problem Solving (Collect, express,
create, present, interact) (3) Selecting the means of information (information media,
computer, network)
■B: Scientific understanding of information-- such as basic theories and mechanisms of computer or network .
(4) Understanding various means of information and its advantages and disadvantages
(5) Basic theories and methods of information processing, information technology, and human's information recognition
■C: Awareness toward participating in information-oriented society
(6)Awareness of Information(7)Information ethics and responsibility of sending out in
formation
1) Create opportunities to collect, evaluate, create and express information on computers in activities of various subjects.
2) Create opportunities to summarize one's opinion, listen to others and communicate with others in activities of various subjects.
3) Let students experience methods of editing,
manipulating and transmitting of information 4) Teach the responsibilities, morals and manners
of transmitting information 5) Teach how to transmit information in accord
with the receivers' situation
1st stage
2nd stage
Basic design of the curriculum
6) Let students work with computers and networks for project type problem-solving learning
7) Let students experience the series of processes regarding collecting, evaluating, expressing, manipulating, creating and transmitting information
8) Let students understand the characteristics of information devices,
which are fundamental to information usage
3rd stage
課題
(気づき)
Transmission and
communication
Discovery of problems
and planning
Collecting information
Organization, analysis and evaluation
Appropriate use of information devices
Information ethics and responsibility
(K.Nagano et al.1999)
Problem-solving approach
The learning environment to achieve information literacy [Software designed for learning]1) Preparation of well-designed software tools (for
multimedia, web presentation) 2) Tools for individual usage (for text editor, image
editor, sound editor etc.) 3) Tools for transmission (for web editing, e-mail etc) 4) Tools for information management (for personal
database, spreadsheet etc.)
[Infrastructure environments for use from anywhere]5) One computer for each student (information terminal) 6) High-speed wireless LAN7) Computers for demonstrating educational materials
