Topic 1: Big 6

Assalamulaikum ...

Hey, Hello!! How do you feel today? I hope your mood in the good condition so that you will enjoy reading my post. In this post I am going to write about the first topic in Information Literacy. There are two section which are Information Literacy Process and Research Process. For the former, it is about the definition, elements and model of Information Literacy while the latter is about how to perform the research.

Information Literacy can be defined as the skill to use, read, write and find information

Information Literacy also known as Information Competency, Information Skill and Knowledge Management. It is useful to everyone and any activities that related to the information is the usage of Information Literacy. For example, you have to do written report, so you need to use information literacy to find the information, to write the information, to evaluate the information and to make a decision.

There are 6 elements of Information Literacy which are Computer Literacy, Media Literacy, Research Literacy, Internet Literacy, Critical Thinking Literacy and Library Literacy.

There are a lot of IL models such as Alberta model and Seven Pillar Model but Miss Nisha just focuses in Big 6 process.  It is because Big 6 is the most easier process to be followed by us, the student. All the IL model used to do the research. 

Also, in this topic i learned how to do research project. Before we start doing research, we need to choose the topic and narrow down the topic. The topic should be narrow down based on target audience, specific area, time and location. It means by narrow down the topic, it will be more specify and we have the clear imagination on what the research is going to be. 

Miss Nisha has given us the exercise regarding this topic. She asked us to choose one topic and specify the topic. In this activity, I got the clear explanation on how to specify the topic which is this skill we use to do written report. It is the one of the assessment that we need to do in the group of 3. 

So, I think that's all from me for this topic. I hope, my post makes you understand the topic easily. So, See You Soon (SYS). Bye !!..
