Abstract

The title of the proposed research is "Information Literacy Skills of Early Childhood Education (ECE) Teachers in Efforts to Enhance Pedagogical Competence of ECE Teachers in Central Lampung Regency." This research aims to explore the information literacy skills of ECE teachers in the Central Lampung Regency, Lampung Province, using the ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries) standards, and to understand how ECE teachers can meet the demands to improve their professional competence in line with current technological and informational developments. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach with a mixed methods methodology (interviews, observations, and surveys). The research findings indicate that ECE teachers in the Central Lampung Regency are able to identify information needs by formulating problems beforehand. However, the information search process often employs very basic strategies, limited to typing keywords. Moreover, in the process of evaluating information sources, ECE teachers, whether in ECE or higher levels, tend to only use additional information to verify the accuracy of the information obtained. In using and communicating information, teachers generally combine new information with existing knowledge to create summaries. Furthermore, through this research, the extent of ECE teachers' understanding of academic ethics, such as avoiding plagiarism by citing the sources of information used, will also be examined. ECE teachers who apply information literacy in the learning process by presenting problems to early learners are expected to foster better foundational understanding and develop critical thinking skills for ECE students in the future.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel penelitian ini berjudul "Keterampilan Literasi Informasi Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) dalam Upaya Meningkatkan Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru PAUD di Kabupaten Lampung Tengah." Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi keterampilan literasi informasi guru PAUD di Kabupaten Lampung Tengah, Provinsi Lampung, dengan menggunakan standar ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries), serta memahami bagaimana guru PAUD dapat memenuhi tuntutan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi profesional mereka sesuai dengan perkembangan teknologi dan informasi saat ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif dengan metodologi campuran (wawancara, observasi, dan survei). Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru PAUD di Kabupaten Lampung Tengah mampu mengidentifikasi kebutuhan informasi dengan terlebih dahulu merumuskan masalah. Namun, proses pencarian informasi sering kali menggunakan strategi yang sangat dasar, terbatas pada mengetik kata kunci. Selain itu, dalam proses evaluasi sumber informasi, baik pada tingkat PAUD maupun yang lebih tinggi, guru cenderung hanya menggunakan informasi tambahan untuk memverifikasi keakuratan informasi yang diperoleh. Dalam penggunaan dan komunikasi informasi, guru umumnya menggabungkan informasi baru dengan pengetahuan yang sudah ada untuk membuat ringkasan. Selain itu, melalui penelitian ini, pemahaman guru PAUD mengenai etika akademik, seperti menghindari plagiarisme dengan menyebutkan sumber informasi yang digunakan, juga akan diteliti. Guru PAUD yang menerapkan literasi informasi dalam proses pembelajaran dengan menyajikan masalah kepada peserta didik usia dini diharapkan dapat menumbuhkan pemahaman dasar yang lebih baik dan mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir kritis bagi siswa PAUD di masa mendatang.
