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.
