Fostering Development of Information Literacy Skills in Early School-Age Children

The fundamental aspect of acquiring knowledge is rooted in information, making the concept of learning essential to information literacy. Often, young children are encouraged to explore beyond their textbooks to gain a deeper understanding of various subjects, phenomena, or terms. Consequently, in order for individuals to actively engage in the world overflowing with information and to navigate the vast sea of information effectively, it is crucial to develop information skills from an early age. This research aims to examine the foundational knowledge of children in their early school years regarding information and its sources, as well as their proficiency in basic information literacy skills. Additionally, it seeks to explore whether the Super 3 program can impact the enhancement of information skills.
