THE ROLE OF A TEACHER IN AN
INFORMATION LITERACY PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION
Filipinos are technology-
savvy and the Philippines is
well-known as the “texting
capital of the world,”
referring to the very high
per capita rates of text-
messaging via mobile
phones.
As time progresses, our
homes, schools, libraries are
equipped with the modern
electronic technologies to
better obtain information

Introduction
• No matter how technology-
savvy we are, the Philippine
educational system is
lagging behind in providing
our learners the tool to
enable them to be lifelong
learners.
What is
INFORMATION LITERACY?
Although it is a relatively new term,
Henry Brook Adams recognized it
Information more than ninety years ago.
Literacy Information Literacy is knowing how
to learn. It is knowing how to find
information, evaluate it, use it wisely,
and effectively. Perhaps Adam
probably knew that we can’t possibly

WHY SHOULD WE BE
CONCERNED ABOUT
INFORMATION
LITERACY?
Most of the netizens surfing, hanging about,
prowling the web for study and leisure
presume that works uploaded in the Internet
are true, valid and usable as presented.
But how would you know if the information
that you are reading is correct and underwent
a process of editing and proof checking?
You may never know but there’s a chance that
you are being deceived albeit, indirectly.
This is where your discernment comes into
play. Test for yourself if a work is genuine and
the author is a credible source.
That is why it is important to be equipped with
the skills to verify whether the information that
you are seeing or searching for is correct.

IMPLICATIONS 1
Brian Ferguson in his e-book
explains: Information Literacy skills
are vital to fully participate in and
contribute we live in. The best hope
for citizens to understand and
function effectively in this data-
intensive world is a comprehensive,
hands-on, universal education in
Information Literacy concepts and
skills through schools.

IMPLICATIONS 2
The impact of moving from
text-based learning to resource-
based learning will involve
heavier use of library materials
and a demand for more and
varied media resources,
including print and non-print.
As information specialists,
libraries will be called upon
more frequently to consult with
teachers and learners, and to
provide training and guidance
toward the sharpening of
information literacy skills not 23

Implications 3
In order to produce learners who are
information literate, schools will need to
integrate information literacy skills across
the curriculum in all subject areas
beginning in the earliest grades.
Educational institutions that wish to
produce lifelong learners should be
engaged in some fairly basic rethinking
of how teaching faculty and information
