What This Module is About

Welcome to the 21st Century Society where the quality of information we

receive largely determines our choices and actions relevant to issues and concerns
affecting us. Driven by technological improvements in telecommunications, we adopt
the proliferation of media and other information providers where vast amounts of
information and knowledge are accessed and shared by everybody (Karklins, J.,
UNESCO).

This Module is a second part for the subject in Media and Information Literacy,
which paves the way towards more meaningful discussions and interactions on the
concept of Media and Information Literacy to Senior High School learners, as viable
foundation for college life.

This module contains varied activities to help you not just only an information
literate individual, but also a creative and critical thinker, responsible user, and
competent producer of media and information.

In this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Contrast the indigenous media with the common sources of information such
as library, internet, etc. (MIL11/12IMIL-IIIa-6).

What’s In

In our previous lesson, we learned the various types of media: the Print Media,
Broadcast Media, and the New age Media.

What Is It

Information Literacy

--includes the ability to identify, find,

evaluate, and use information effectively. Thus,
students are trained to evaluate the quality,
credibility, and validity of websites.

Moreover, Information refers to digital

literacy or media literacy. Irrespective of the
terminology, be it digital literacy or media
literacy, having information literacy skills are the fundamentals to thrive in a digital
space.

2
 Three Types of Resources
There are three types of resources or sources of information, namely: primary,
secondary, and tertiary.

1. Primary Sources

--Original materials on which other research is based, including original written

works – poems, diaries, court records, interviews, surveys, and original
research/fieldwork, and research published in scholarly/academic journals.

2. Secondary Sources

Those that describe or analyze primary sources, including reference materials –

dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and books and articles that interpret,
review, or synthesize original research/fieldwork.

3. Tertiary Sources

--are those used to organize and locate secondary and primary sources. Indexes
provide citations that fully identify a work with information such as author, titles of
a book, article, and/or journal, publisher and publication date, volume and issue
number and page numbers.

An abstract – summarize the primary or secondary sources. Databases - are

online indexes that usually include abstracts for each primary or secondary resource,
and may also include a digital copy of the resource

Some of the main sources of information you will use are:

Reference Materials consist of a range of different types of material providing

you with background information. This material can either be general or related to
specific subject areas.

1. Dictionaries

--are good source of information relevant to the

functions of word based on how they are used
in context. In addition, they provide
synonyms/antonyms of words so that learners
would be able to use them appropriately.

2. Encyclopedias

An Encyclopedia provides more details on the

functions of words than dictionaries.

3
Other Reference Material

1. Books
--may be textbooks at school or university level or more-detailed monographs.

2. e-Books
-- books are now available in electronic format as e-books.

3. Journals
--also known as periodicals or serials are published at regular intervals throughout
the year.

4. Websites
--are reliable sources of information available on the Internet, except information
found in Wikipedia and YouTube.

5. Newspapers
--can be good sources of information for primary research.

6. Conference Proceedings

--consist of a collection of paper presentations or posters delivered at conferences,

seminars or workshops. They are sources of primary research as this may be the
first place the information has been made public.

7. Reports

--are produced by agencies and departments on specific topics or issues. These

agencies include Government departments, research establishments, charitable
foundations and more.

8. Standards
--are consensus agreements drawn up by representative collections of people who
have an interest in the subject. These might be manufacturers, users, research
organizations, or government departments.

9. Manuscripts and Special Collections

--manuscripts and archives are unique items created or collected by a person or
organization in the course of their ordinary business, and retained by them as
evidence of their activities.

10. Patents
--are legal documents which give the owner exclusive rights to profit from an
invention, protecting it from exploitation by others unless they have the prior
agreement of the patent owner. Patents also establish the ownership of advances
in the subject.

11. Theses
-- major sources of primary research output.

4
12. Social Media
--serve as an avenue in establishing social interaction with other individuals.

Ways in Evaluating Information

The Library

The word "library" is used in many different aspects: from the brick-and-
mortar public library to the digital library. Public libraries serve as the best source
of information whether it's a book, a web site, or database entry.

http://www.ancientpages.com/2017/03/29/tree-knowledge- https://www.wanderwithjo.com/6-modern-libraries-worth-visit/
perhaps-hall-records-mysterious-ancient-library-containing-
forbidden-knowledge/ancientlibrary/

Indigenous knowledge is the unique knowledge confined to a culture or

society. It is also known as local knowledge, folk knowledge, people's knowledge,
traditional wisdom or traditional science.

5
1. Adaptive is based on historical experiences but
adapts to social, economic, environmental,
spiritual and political changes. Adaptation is the
key to survival.

2. Cumulative consists of a body of knowledge

and skills developed from centuries of living.

3. Dynamic has developed, adapted, and grown

over millennia.

4. Holistic refers to the interconnection of all

aspects in life.

5. Humble does not dictate how to control nature

but how to live in harmony with the gifts of the
Creator.

6. Intergenerational is the collective memory which will pass within a community,

from one generation to the next orally through language, stories, songs,
ceremonies, legends, and proverbs.

7. Invaluable is the key to sustainable social and economic development.

8. Irreplaceable stipulates that nothing could replace the aspect of Indigenous

knowledge serving as the critical connection between IK and language.

9. Moral involves responsibility given from the Creator to respect the natural
world.

10. Non-linear involves Time, patterns, migrations and movements of individuals

are cyclical.

11. Observant involves the observations made by the Indigenous leaders.

12. Relative stresses that Indigenous knowledge is not embodied at the same
degree by all community members.

13. Responsible emphasizes that Indigenous Peoples generally believe they are
responsible for the well-being of the natural environment around them.

14. Spiritual stipulates that Indigenous knowledge is rooted in a social context that
sees the world in terms of social and spiritual relations among all life forms. All
parts of the natural world are infused with spirit. Mind, matter, and spirit are
perceived as inseparable.

15. Unique describes Indigenous knowledge as unique to a given culture or

society.

16. Valid does not require the validation of western science

 The Internet

History of the Internet

In 1982, the word internet started. In 1986, first

“freenet” created in Case Western Reserve University; in
1991, the US government allowed business agencies to
connect to internet. Now all peoples can connect to
internet and improve their life and work quality. The
internet support various aspects in our life.

The Internet has revolutionized the

computer and communications world like
nothing before. The Internet is at once a world-
wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for
information dissemination, and a medium for
collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard
for geographic location. It represents one of the most successful examples of the
benefits of sustained investment and commitment to research and development of
information infrastructure.

Summary

Information Literacy includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate and use
information effectively.

There are three (3) types of resources or sources of information, namely:

1. Primary sources are original materials on which other research is based; 2.
Secondary sources are those that describe or analyze primary sources; and Tertiary
sources are those used to organize and locate secondary and primary sources.

Other reference materials include dictionaries, encyclopedias, books, e-books,

journals, websites, newspapers, conferences proceedings, reports, standards,
manuscripts, special collections, patents, theses and social media.

Library is a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and

sometimes films and recorded music for people to read.

An Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and

communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized
communication protocols. Vinton Cerf is the Father of Internet. Tim Berners-Lee is the
Father of World Wide Web.
