The Tromsø Information Literacy Test (TILT) is a 21-item multiple-choice test is suitable for undergraduates. It assesses knowledge of three core facets of information literacy: source evaluation, source use, and information seeking.
This quantitative measure is designed to assess students’ abilities to critically evaluate their information sources in practice. It is used in authentic course assignments where students are required to evaluate sources.
This quantitative measure uses a rubric to rate students’ use of sources in written work. The rubric contains five assessment criteria related to in-text citations and references. It is adaptable to any reference style.
We are studying whether interest – specifically interest in being/becoming information literate – has an association to students’ information literacy skills. To measure this, we developed TRIQ.
