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.

Following are the lessons contained in this module:

1. Media and Information Sources
2. Information literacy
3. Three Types of Resources
4. The Library
5. The Internet

 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.
-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.

Three Types of Resources

There are three types of resources or sources of information: primary, secondary,
and tertiary.

Primary sources are 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.
Secondary sources are 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.
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.
Abstracts – 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 Material
-consists 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.
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.
Encyclopedias
-provide more details on the functions of words than dictionaries.
Other Reference Material
-depending on subject area, there are many other types of reference material.
Books
-may be textbooks at school or university level or more-detailed monographs.
e-Books
-many books are now available in electronic format as e-books.
Journals
-also known as periodicals or serials are published at regular intervals
throughout the year.
Websites
- are reliable sources of information available on the Internet, except information
found in Wikipedia and YouTube.
Newspapers
-can be good sources of information for primary research.

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.
Reports
-are produced by agencies and departments on specific topics or issues. These
agencies include Government departments, research establishments, charitable
foundations and more.
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.
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.
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.

Theses
-are major sources of primary research output.

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.

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.

Indigenous knowledge is:

Adaptive which is based on historical experiences but

adapts to social, economic, environmental, spiritual and
political changes. Adaptation is the key to survival.

Cumulative which consists of a body of knowledge and

skills developed from centuries of living.
Dynamic which has developed, adapted, and grown over millennia.

Holistic in which all aspects of life are interconnected.

Humble which does not dictate how to control nature but how to live in harmony with
the gifts of the Creator.

Intergenerational which the collective memory will pass within a community, from one
generation to the next orally through language, stories, songs, ceremonies, legends,
and proverbs.

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

Irreplaceable which stipulates that nothing could replace the aspect of Indigenous
knowledge serving as the critical connection between IK and language.

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

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

are cyclical.

Observant which involves the observations made by the Indigenous leaders.

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

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

Spiritual which 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.

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

Valid which 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.
