A Design Approach toward Developing Criteria for Effectively Assessment of the Information Literacy

The National Engineering Research Center for E-learning in Central China Normal University is a pioneer research center in the field of education, and we have theories and tools of education and education informatization assessment in the field of learning and education.

One main objective for our group is to effectively design students’ assessment criteria of information literacy. Information literacy is considered as the basic skills set of and the key competency for the 21st century. Assessing and evaluating the level of students’ information literacy is not possible without assessment criteria.

After getting the criteria, they will be compared with information literacy assessment criteria designed by the International Association for the Assessment of Educational Achievement and used in International Computer and Information Literacy Study from the background of criteria design, the participants, the period, the specific information literacy assessment criteria class and so on for verifying the rationality and usefulness of the criteria.
