| Description | The presented article focuses on the phenomenon of information literacy (CSI, 2014) in the kontext of educational practise in the elementary education. The main point of it is to mediate the results of the qualitative research realized as a case study in an alternative laboratory school. With the usage of kontent analysis, non-involved observation of educational process and semi-structuralised interview with the teachers we searched for answers for the question of the process of development of of information literacy in a laboratory school and other questions regarding information literacy in an educational process of schools. We gained some important fi ndings about the development of information education from the research, all of them are about two main participants of the process – the teachers and the students. The teachers of the laboratory school understand the concept of information literacy, they realize the importance of information literacy for the present and the future of the pupils. The teachers’ conception of the education does not build on didactical base but on the values of the school, pedagogic erudition and experience. Information literacy is taught as an ability to work with information at the level of defi ning the information need, searching information, its valuation, usage and presentation with the use of modern educational technology. These aspects of information literacy are shown in a cyclical model of information literacy (also used abroad) – Big 6, but neither the teachers nor the curiculum of a laboratory schools work with this model. In a constructivistic integrated teaching on a platform of the conception of Kovalíková the teachers’ goal of the education is the teaching activities where the students learn various information skills such as solving problems, understanding the problematics in the context and developing self-directed learning. The educational environment of the laboratory school refl ects the educational needs of the students in 21st century (MIL, Framework 2013). The choice of an alternative educational institution as presented is the partial saturation of the absence of Czech pedagogic research in the area of development of literacies for the 21st century at schools aside from the main educational stream (Průcha, 2012). The study adds to the discusions above the contents of education (Stuchlíková, Janík, Beneš et al., 2015) and to the holistic view on current Czech educational environment, with respect to the specifi cs of subjects and contents or to the development of the competence attitude. |
