Description
Summary:Information Literacy (IL) is one of important skills in 21st century. According to Parthership-21, IL includes the ability to access, evaluate, use and process information. However, there is a presumption that this skill has not been optimally trained in the science learning process. One of the reasons is the difficulty of teachers in teaching and assessing these skills. This qualitative descriptive research is a preliminary study to get the initial IL profile of students so it will be able to provide the action plan and to assess IL in science learning in the classroom. This study was conducted in one of SMPN in West Bandung Regency, which is selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments are structured description test and observation format of learning process. Profile Analysis is measured by presentation interpretation. The results show that most students can access information, but only a small number of students have the skill to evaluate, use, and process information. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ways on improving students IL skills related to evaluate, use and process information.
