Development and Application of Information Literacy Assessment Tool for Primary and Secondary School Teachers

The level of teachers' information literacy is not only an important force to promote teacher professional development, but also an important factor to affect the integration and innovation of information and communication technology (ICT) in education. Using scientific and reasonable assessment tools to carry out evaluation is an important part of promoting teachers' information literacy. Therefore, this study used the situational judgment test and the Delphi method to design the initial test paper, and then developed the assessment tool after several rounds of iterative revision, so as to provide support for the information literacy evaluation of primary and secondary school teachers. The assessment tool included five dimensions (i.e. information awareness, information knowledge, information application, information ethics and security, and professional development) with a total of 38 questions. This study introduced the development process, assessment items and scoring rules of the assessment tool, and verified the effectiveness of the tool in terms of difficulty, discrimination, reliability and validity. In addition, the assessment tool was used to evaluate the information literacy of primary and secondary school teachers in X city in China, and the results could clearly reveal the development status quo of teachers' information literacy in this city.
