Abstract:

This paper reviewed an existing information literacy (IL) learning assessment tool for the IL instruction sessions at De La Salle University (DLSU). The discussion of the paper is built upon IL and the importance of assessment in IL instruction. The research invoked validity (difficulty index, discrimination index and total-item statistics) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) tests to determine the validity and reliability of the said assessment tool. It was found out that the current tool is still at its infancy and that revisions to make it responsive to course objectives are necessary. This led to the development of an outcomes-based education (OBE) compliant IL module and assessment tool.
