Information Literacy Awareness Within the Diploma Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In an information-centred society, information literacy (IL) skills have become increasingly important. The International Baccalaureate (IB) focuses on these skills through an inquirydriven educational approach. This research examined IL’s place within IB’s Diploma Programme. Through case studies at three IB schools, students’, parents’ and teachers’ perceptions of IL’s significance, the need and preferred methods for improving IL and the librarians’ current practice of IL education were analysed.IB is gradually giving the librarian’s role for IL education more visibility but its view of a holistic IL concept, as defined in the literature, remains ambiguous. The case studies revealed low levels of librarian-teacher collaboration, even though in-context learning proved to be the stakeholders’ shared preferred method for IL education. Preconditions are nevertheless favourable for increasing the emphasis placed upon IL as all stakeholders acknowledge IL’s significance and expect to be taught IL skills throughout life but especially within secondary education.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
