Moreover,this study also compared the information literacy in rural areas with that in urban areas.
This study surveyed the seventh, eighth and ninth grade students in two junior high schools in Taichung and Yunlin respectively. The result showed that students’information literacy in the rural areas demonstrated a significant difference when the students had computer books and magazines at home , participated in off-campus computer courses, played computer games at home and had someone for advice about information technology.In addition, the overall information literacy capabilities of the junior high school students in the rural areas were lower than those in the urban areas, including ‘the ability to identify problems’, ‘the ability to seek information’,‘the ability to retrieve information’,‘the ability to use information’,‘the ability to comprehend information’and‘the ability to assess and share information’. It is evident that a gap existed between urban and rural areas in terms of information literacy.
