“…With the rapid development of information technologies, information literacy has become a fundamental skill that people in modern societies must develop (Guo et al, 2022). Information literacy refers to the knowledge, skills and attitude to recognize when and why information is needed, where to find and access it, how to evaluate it, synthesize it, use it and communicate it ethically and legally (Anunobi & Udem, 2015).…”

<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>

“…Teachers' levels of digital literacy have a significant impact not only on digital learning integration but also on students' digital skill improvement. In this example, teachers should be a role models of how they filter and validate information [59]. According to the results, teachers' digital literacy, especially in secondary and higher education, has been at an intermediate level, but it is important that teachers elevate their digital literacy regularly to keep up with the new advancements of technology.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This study explored the teachers’ digital literacy in secondary school and deciphered the most suggested way of enhancing secondary teachers’ digital literacy, overview levels, and the trends factors in the last five years of research. The methodologies in this study employed the traditional systematic literature review (SLR), which compiled some previous studies to be examined. The initial studies were only selected from an article published in a reputable journal indexed by Scopus. Of the 118 articles reviewed, 46 were selected to be included in the analysis. Significant findings summarize the fact that most of the last five-year research about teachers in secondary schools was impacted by the rapid development of technology and the demand for 21st-century skills. To summarize, as it is at the intermediate level, most secondary school teachers are digitally literate. However, future research may evaluate digital literacy training programs for teachers to assess what improvements should be made to delivery as well as existing frameworks used to test teachers’ digital literacy.</span>

“…The problem of weighting the attributes of each indicator has become an essential issue in the study of the comprehensive multi-indicator evaluation process. The literature [15][16][17][18][19][20] uses the constant weight model (CWM) to determine the indicator weights. In this model, no matter how the state values change, the weights always remain the same and play a poor role in constraining the equilibrium of the grouping of target values.…”

Architectural heritage health assessment is the basis of scientific repair and maintenance. However, existing methods do not adequately take into account the fuzziness, randomness and uncertainties unique to architectural heritage assessment. In this paper, a new evaluation model of VM-NCM is constructed by combining variable weight theory and normal cloud model theory. The model enables the combination of qualitative ratings and quantitative calculation, deals with the fuzziness in the assessment process, and resolves the randomness and reflects the uncertainty to a certain extent. Based on constructing the index system combining qualitative and quantitative indexes, the structural index values are acquired by the synergistic coupling of the fine laser point cloud model and finite element structural analysis model. The acquisition of surface index values is completed by the hyperspectral intelligent detection technology of surface materials and diseases. These reduce the generation of ambiguous information in the index detection process. An evaluation study is conducted using the Yingxian wooden pagoda in China as an example. The results show that this method takes into account the fuzziness and randomness in the evaluation process, and obtains more scientific and reliable evaluation results, which provides a research paradigm for assessing the architectural heritage health status.
