Conceptual Assessment Framework of Students' Information Literacy: An Evidence-Centered Design Approach

This study proposed a conceptual assessment framework of students' information literacy based on the Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) model. Firstly, student model was designed to describe the relevant variables of knowledge, skills and abilities to be measured in terms of students' information literacy. Secondly, evidence model was presented, including the evidence rules and measurement model of students' information literacy. Thirdly, task model was proposed to describe various kinds of tasks in order to obtain the evidence needed by the evidence model. Then, the implementation of students' information literacy assessment based on the ECD model was introduced. Finally, the authors proposed future studies regarding with empirical research on students' information literacy assessment based on the ECD model.
