解説

問 7

Incorrectア
Knowing about new PC product information or the performance of each model is merely product knowledge in a specific field. It is not the ability to search for and utilize information according to a purpose, so it does not qualify as information literacy.
Incorrectイ
Being able to discern the impact that technological innovation has on society is a broad insight that sees through the relationship between technology and society (insight into technology and society), which is a different ability from information literacy — finding the data one needs and using it according to a purpose.
ウ
正解 Information literacy refers to the ability to search for and collect the information and data required for the purpose of a task or problem, and to evaluate and appropriately utilize it. Choice ウ, “being able to search for the data needed for one's work and utilize it according to the purpose”, expresses exactly this definition, so it is the correct answer. The core of information literacy is that it involves not merely knowing information but the flow of use — “searching for” and then “using” it in light of the purpose.
Incorrectエ
Being able to develop software using a high-level programming language is a programming skill (development skill), which differs from information literacy — searching for and utilizing information.

ここがポイント

Information literacy = the ability to search for and collect the necessary information and data according to a purpose, then evaluate and appropriately utilize it (not “knowing” but “being able to find and use”).
Product knowledge, social insight, and programming skills are each separate concepts and should not be confused with information literacy.
