IO1- "Transnational Information Literacy Ecosystem Mapping – TILEM-Book" is the final result of a cooperative process that took place during 2021-2022, among the 5 partners of EDUCABILITY Project. It was coordinated by the partner University of West Attica, Department of Archival, Library and Information Studies, Information Management Research Lab (IML)
In TILEM-Book you may find an introductory discussion for six (6) scientific subjects related to information literacy, as well as six relevant curricula aimed at educators and librarians:
-
- Digital Literacy & Mobile Literacy by CUT-Cyprus
- Media and Information Literacy by UNIWA-Greece
- Critical Information Literacy & Data Literacy by UC3M-Spain
- Sustainable Development Literacy carried out by UNS-Serbia
The cooperative process that resulted in these curricula included:
- mapping of the international literature on six (6) scientific subjects related to information literacy, based on a protocol of systematic review of sources, which examined the latest research and publications on the above literacies and classified them by the type of each source and their relevance to EDUCABILITY objectives
- text analysis that identified the reliability of the sources, their key concepts and content and recorded all the information that could form the basis for the development of six (6) relevant curricula
- six (6) different surveys that were conducted with the method of Delphi Study to ensure the adequacy of the proposed curricula
Each proposed curriculum has been summarized and codified in the following categories:
- (1) New and/or supplementary definitions of each literacy
- (2) Key concepts and content of each literacy
- (3) Learning objectives and outcomes integrated in distinct thematic units of each curriculum
- (4) Teaching approaches and evaluation methods common for the six curricula
The findings of IO1-TILEM were used as the ground floor to build the full curricula of the six (6) aforementioned literacies and to deliver the second Intellectual Output, namely “IO2-Six Information Literacy Learning Modules Curriculum Development (SILLMCD)”, coordinated by CUT-Cyprus.
