ABSTRACT

Professional information literacy is a prerequisite for vocational college students' professional learning, which determines the breadth and depth of their professional learning. The observation experiment method was used to study the information literacy status of 237 students in the process of completing course assignments. It was found that the information literacy of vocational college students is generally in the shallow state of information search, information replication and memory, which can only support the receptive learning of college students; However, the deep information literacy, such as information retrieval strategies, information integration and expression, and building new solutions, is obviously insufficient to support college students' high-level learning behaviors, such as critical learning and creative learning. Therefore, there is an urgent need to embed information literacy education in the professional education of higher vocational colleges. Through the design of professional curriculum teaching and homework tasks, we should carry out planned professional information literacy training for higher vocational college students to improve their ability to learn independently at a higher level.
