Abstract

Information literacy is a fundamental and essential competency to live as a citizen, who is an independent and self-directed learner, in the future society. This study, as a follow-up to Kim and Kim’s research (2022a, 2022b), explores the components of information literacy for mathematics, and develops standards and indicators of literacy. Through three rounds of modified Delphi surveys and FGI, the standards and indicators of information literacy for mathematics were stabilized, and the application to practices in schools was explored. As a result, Standards 1 through 4 of information literacy for mathematics consisted of ‘cognitive thinking skills’ and ‘using physical and symbol tools’ in the personal cognitive domain, and Standard 5 was set as ‘social communication competency’ and ‘social awareness and practice competency’ in the social domain. Sixteen indicators were presented under the corresponding standards, and the relationship between competencies and standards of information literacy in mathematics was specified. This study emphasizes the key competencies of information literacy in mathematics education that are necessary for preparing individuals for future society and provides the foundation to cultivate it in school mathematics.
