“…Several studies have used this instrument to assess the IL competencies of students and have affirmed the validity of the instrument (Valenzuela et al , 2019; Larsen et al , 2010; Cantwell, 2010; Ferguson et al , 2006). A recent study by Urra et al (2021) used this instrument to measure IL competencies and concluded that the instrument is reliable, as the results from their study show “adequate levels of reliability” (p. 128). Moreover, Marshall (2006) used the instrument in two different studies and indicated that “with the Cronbach Alpha being in the high eighties and low nineties each time it is given shows consistent reliability” (p. 18).…”

Purpose Information literacy (IL) is clearly important for academic performance, as evidenced by literature. It could be defined as a set of abilities, attitudes and experiences that enable people to recognize when they need information to solve an issue. The importance of investigating students’ IL competencies cannot be overstated. This study therefore aims to look into the IL development and competencies of high school students in Accra, as there appears to be a dearth of systematic study on this in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach To investigate this phenomenon, the study used a survey research design with a mixed-methods approach and a post-positivist research paradigm. A total of 454 high school students, 3 librarians and 3 heads of ICT departments from three senior high schools in Accra participated in this study. This study used two methods: an audit of the IL programmes and practices available at the selected schools as well as IL literacy assessment through the use of a standardized test instrument. The data collection tools used were a semi-structured interview schedule and a questionnaire. Findings This study found that high school students in Accra had low IL competencies. Again, the findings of this study revealed that inadequate infrastructure and lack of formalized IL instructions in schools hindered the IL development of students. Originality/value The author considers the study original both in conceptualization and design. The main question being interrogated stems from identified gaps in the literature and this study intends to fill these knowledge gaps. This study’s originality also stems from the fact that there is a paucity of information on the subject of study in the context of Ghana. This study recommends the need to integrate IL in the school curriculum to ensure effective and efficient IL instructions in high schools.

“…Esta dimensión, según Valenzuela et al (2021), consiste en analizar las fuentes de forma crítica, y seleccionar la información que brinde veracidad y sustento. Por ello, se deben considerar cuestiones éticas que suponen el uso de la información con propósitos legales.…”

El objetivo primordial de la investigación radica en el diseño y validación de un instrumento para evaluar la competencia informacional desde la autopercepción de estudiantes universitarios en México. El estudio subyace al paradigma positivista con un enfoque cuantitativo. La investigación es descriptiva-correlacional, con un diseño de tipo instrumental. Se aplicó un cuestionario ad hoc a una muestra de 1,260 estudiantes de educación superior de la región noroeste de México de centros públicos y privados, durante 2021-2022. El instrumento evalúa cuatro dimensiones de la competencia informacional: búsqueda, tratamiento, evaluación y comunicación de la información. Los resultados del análisis de fiabilidad del total del instrumento arrojaron un alfa de Cronbach de .86. Las pruebas de correlación evidenciaron una asociación de moderada a fuerte entre las dimensiones de la competencia informacional autopercibida con un nivel de significancia nivel 0.01. Entre las conclusiones, se destaca una adaptación del cuestionario probado satisfactoriamente al registrar consistencia interna en cada una de las dimensiones analizadas y el global del instrumento. A manera de recomendación para posteriores estudios, se propone la aplicación de otros diseños y alcances de investigación, como explicativos o experimentales, a fin de aumentar la precisión.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Today's college students relate directly to the information through which they learn. They are the ones who detect the information they need, search and evaluate it, and also use it to develop academic projects. Information literacy programs have increased in universities to support the development of these skills to students. The aim of this study was to provide an instrument that allows the measurement of information competency in higher level students and generate evidence of its validity and reliability. The Information Management Brief Inventory (IMBS) was developed, which consisted of 16 Likert type items. IMBS was applied to a sample of 1,937 students from a public university in northern Mexico. For the evaluation of the construct validity and identification of the factor grouping of the items, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to explore the goodness of fit of the model. It was found that the 16 items were grouped into three factors: information management, access to information and information ethics. The psychometric properties of IMBS were adequate.</p>
