Searching for Information in the Hierarchy of Importance of Children and Teenagers Activities in the ICT World – in the Opinion of Pupils and Teachers (Research Report)

Abstract

The article presents a fragment of diagnostic-correlative research of a mixed character, identifying pupils’ information literacy in the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) methods and tools. The author aim to answer the question defining the frequency of using ICT by children and teenagers (hierarchy of importance of activities) in the area of searching for information. For this purpose, the method of diagnostic survey (questionnaire and interview) and statistical methods were used. Together, 2510 pupils and 1110 teachers (in Poland) were involved. It was established that: 1) according to the aggregate hierarchy of the importance of activities, the students attached a very great deal of importance (second place), and the teachers gave high importance (third place) to the searching for information; 2) there is a relationship (correlation: weak, negative – r @ -0,06) between the students’ and teachers’ opinions as to the frequency of using ICT instruments by children and adolescents in order to search for information; 3) the calculations showed significant statistical differences between the frequency of using ICT by children and adolescents in the area of searching for information and: gender and the stage of education of students; 4) there is a noticeable slight discrepancy between the opinions of students and teachers, the disturbing “separation” of the world of children and youth (“Us”) from the world of teachers (“Them”).
