Abstract

The role of teacher-librarians in school is changing with the digital society. Libraries are changing into digital learning centers that support not only reading education but also creative activities linked to the other subject, and perform digital literacy education to solve social problems through collaborative learning activities. This study aimed to develop a digital literacy education framework that should be considered in the context of school libraries in order to support digital literacy education that teacher-litrarians should perform in accordance with the changing role of school libraries. To this end, we analyzed domestic and foreign previous studies and cases related to digital literacy education framework conducted in the context of libraries, and then developed a draft through interviews with teacher-librarians. We also derived examples of educational achievement goals that teacher-librarians can implement for each sub-competency. The derived digital literacy education framework was revised and supplemented through the Delphi method with 10 experts to increase reliability and validity. This study has an implication that it provides a framework for designing instructional procedures and methods where teacher-librarians should consider when conducting education to foster students’ digital literacy.
