CULTIVATING THE NEXT GENERATION: INTEGRATING TRADITIONAL VALUES IN INFORMATION LITERACY EDUCATION

Abstract

In the age of rapid information technology advancement, information literacy has emerged as a vital foundational skill in modern society. However, equipping students with merely technical and knowledge-based training falls short of addressing their holistic development, which necessitates the nurturing of correct values and comprehensive qualities. Chinese traditional values, a treasured spiritual heritage, hold profound ideological and political education significance. This paper endeavors to investigate the incorporation of these invaluable traditional values into the framework of information literacy curriculum construction. The aim is to enhance students' ethical and moral development, ultimately contributing to the cultivation of individuals who are not only well-versed in information literacy but also well-rounded, equipped to be builders and successors of socialism with Chinese characteristics, embodying moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor-related development
