Survey on Information Literacy of Rural Primary and Secondary School Teachers in the Background of Pneumonia Epidemic in COVID-19

Abstract

Information literacy has become a basic quality that every citizen in the information society must possess. Teacher information literacy is an essential basic literacy in an artificial intelligence society. In the process of education informatization, the information literacy of rural elementary and middle school teachers has received the attention of the education authorities and the majority of teachers. Improving the information literacy of rural elementary and middle school teachers has become an urgent problem to be solved. Under the epidemic of COVID-19 in 2020, the Ministry of Education required "classes suspended but learning continues", which has revealed the current situation of imperfect information literacy in rural primary and secondary schools. This paper analyzes the current situation and existing problems of rural primary and secondary school teachers' information literacy, and puts forward some strategies to improve teachers' information literacy by means of literature research method and interview method. It helps front-line teachers to have a deeper understanding of information literacy, and also provides reference for schools to conduct teacher training, so as to improve teachers' online teaching ability and teaching quality.
