Current Status and Strategy of Information Literacy of Chinese Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools in Southwestern China

Bing Wang and Xiang-Hao Liu

Abstract—Information literacy for teachers is the ability to retrieve, analyze, store, use, disseminate, and create information in the process of teaching. By analyzing the results of questionnaires done by hundreds of primary and secondary school Chinese teachers in southwestern China, we can conclude that their information literacy and awareness are relatively weak. Therefore, we suggest that information literacy of this group can be improved by working on these three areas: 1) raise Chinese teachers’ information awareness; 2) strengthen the training of Chinese teachers; 3) strengthen the ability of integrating information technology and Chinese course of teachers.

Index Terms—Chinese teachers, information literacy, information technology, primary and secondary schools.
