Using ellis model for the analysis of information seeking behavior about digital literacy
Keywords:
Ellis model, Digital literacy, Behavior, Information seekingAbstract
Essential skills must be possessed in line with the development of information and communication technology to search, evaluate, and use information about digital literacy. The contribution of information seeking behavior regarding digital literacy that is less than optimal has an impact on the quality of knowledge, learning, research and self-development obtained by students in higher education. Analysis of information seeking behavior related to digital literacy by students is proposed to improve the quality of education, overcome the spread of information that is not credible, and support competency development. The Ellis model was used for analysis based on data collection with questionnaires from 864 students. 24 questionnaires with 4 answer choices calculated the percentages for 6 interpretations. The analysis produces indicators with interpretations of Generally (browsing and ending), Mostly (starting, extracting, and monitoring), More than Half (differentiating), and Less Than Half (chaining and verifying). The highest level of digital literacy information seeking behavior occurs in final year students who are taking their final assignments, while the lowest occurs in initial level students. Chaining and verification indicators are the basis for creating strategies regarding digital literacy information seeking behavior to improve interpretation. Analysis provides an overview of information seeking behavior, supports effective strategic decision making, and supports the development of technology-based skills.
