INFORMATION LITERACY
Information and knowledge - become the engine of
economic, social, political and cultural life driven by
rapid technological growth.
Information literacy -enables people to make good use
of information and communication technology.
Critical thinking - ability to analyze, synthesize and
evaluate information means ability to think clearly
and rationally and understand the logical
connection between ideas that are presented
For example, you already have the prior
knowledge on how to recognize fake news
based on our previous lesson. Critical
thinkers will identify, analyze and solve
problems systematically rather than by
intuition or instinct. They will always seek
to determine whether the ideas,
arguments and findings represent the
entire picture.
