Sažetak
The main aim of this paper is to determine the relation of the student information literacy self-efficacy and actual information literacy competence. The survey encompassed 300 future pedagogues, students majoring in pedagogy at two universities in Croatia (University of Zagreb and University of Split). Information literacy of the preservice teachers is a widely researched topic due to the importance of their information literacy related competencies for their studies and future work. The earlier research indicates that the majority of the current primary teacher education programs in Croatia include goals that could be linked to information literacy standards (Batarelo Kokić, 2012). Self-efficacy is a highly effective predictor of students’ motivation and learning and students’ academic achievement mediator (Zimmerman, 2000). Several research studies focused on determining information literacy self-efficacy among students in higher education (Demiralay & Karadenız, 2010 ; Kurbanoglu, Akkoyunlu & Umay, 2006). Furthermore, in several research studies there was a focus on testing students’ information literacy competence (Beile, 2005 ; Neely, 2006). Nevertheless, there are few research studies that compare student perceived information literacy selfefficacy and information literacy competence related to specific research areas (De Meulemeester, 2013 ; De Meulemeester, De Sutter & Verhaaren, 2012). The information literacy self-efficacy (ILSE) scale developed by Kurbanoglu, Akkoyunlu and Umay (2006) stressed the impact of information literacy on many aspects of life and in particular on lifelong learning, which is constituted by key skills such as self- regulated learning and information literacy. The ILSE scale that was translated in Croatian for purpose of this study was revised through both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The information literacy competence assessment scale items were compiled to fit the information literacy standard for higher education (American Library Association, 2000). Information Literacy Assessment Scale (ILAS) for education (Beile, 2005) was used as a frame for the information literacy competence assessment scale development. The ILAS scale items were adjusted to fit cultural and linguistic differences of students in Croatia. The results of the statistical correlation indicate relationship between results on the information literacy self-efficacy scale and information literacy competence assessment scale.
