Information literacy: French approach

Abstract

Competences to be acquired do not concern a specific field in French secondary education, except for the pupils of “lycée” who choose the option information-communication. They are registered in the programs of the courses of teaching. Their evaluation is thus integrated into each field. In addition, since ten years, devices of formation are set up : they move traditional teaching. Their common characteristic is to call upon the search for information and the production of documents by the pupils. Lastly, B2I has been just instituted to validate competences as regards control of information.
