解説
問 24
Incorrectア
“A system that centrally manages information within a company and can search for and extract the needed information” describes a mechanism for bringing together information and knowledge scattered across a company so it can be shared and used (for example, an information retrieval system that supports knowledge management). This is a “system” that gets introduced, so it refers to something different from information literacy, which is an ability a person acquires.
Incorrectイ
“A terminal installed by local governments at public facilities and used for administrative procedures and public information guidance” describes what is called a kiosk terminal (a public-access terminal). It refers to the equipment itself, placed there so that any resident can operate it, so it is not a definition of information literacy, which denotes an ability.
- ウ
正解 Information literacy means the “ability (skill)” to make good use of information technology — to gather, analyze, and organize the information you need for a given purpose, and to put it to work in your job and in decision-making. Choice ウ, “The ability to make use of information technology to apply information effectively for carrying out tasks,” states exactly this definition. The key point is that information literacy is neither a “thing” (a system or a device) nor a “norm” (rules or manners); it is a word for an ability that a person acquires. Comparing the choices, only ウ describes an ability, so even elimination gives a single answer.
Incorrectエ
“The ethics and manners required in an information and communication society” describes information ethics (including netiquette). It is about the norms and attitudes to observe when handling information, so its meaning differs from information literacy, which denotes the skill of putting information to use. The two are easily confused, so remember them separately as “literacy = the ability to use information” and “ethics = the norms to observe”.
ここがポイント
- Information literacy = the “ability” to use information technology to gather, analyze, organize, and send out the information you need, and to apply it in your work and in decision-making. Digital literacy is used in much the same context.
- Telling confusing terms apart: information ethics (the morals and manners to observe), a kiosk terminal (a public-access terminal installed by local governments and the like), and a knowledge-management-type information retrieval system (a mechanism) are none of them abilities, so none of them can describe information literacy.
