(2140) ASSESSMENT OF THE INFORMATION COMPETENCES IN THE STUDY PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB

摘要

Paper presents results of the research of the University of Zagreb study programs and the occurrenceof information literacy competences in them. Authors state that there is an overlap between genericand information literacy competences students are expected to acquire upon completing a particularstudy program and upon completing particular courses which should be stated in the study programs.Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in analysis and mapping of the data gathered inanalysis of the: European framework, generic competences, employability competences andinformation competences and generic information competences in the study programs. The results ofhave shown that there is no general approach to the issue but a partial incorporation of informationcompetences in the study programs. Content oriented towards development of informationcompetences is offered partially, usually based upon enthusiasm and individual effort of the teachingstaff or information specialists. Even more, these efforts are not based upon clearly definedmeasurable and comparable learning outcomes. Based on the gathered results authors propose asystematic approach via building the taxonomy of the relevant and measureable learning outcomes,primarily from the employability viewpoint, which will be able to integrate in the study program.
