Application of the Big 6 Skills Model and Information Literacy Skills for Surveying Subject at Vocational School

Abstract

This study aims to identify students' information literacy skills using the Big 6 Skills model in Vocational High Schools' survey subjects. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with survey design. The total sample is 80 vocational students using simple random sampling. The big skills 6 model consists of 6 aspects: Definition; Strategic Information Seeking; Location and Access; Use of Information; Synthesis and Evaluation. This study indicates that the students' information literacy skills in formulating problems and information-seeking strategies are quite good. Meanwhile, the ability to allocate sources, locations, access, and synthesis and evaluation such as utilizing information, organizing information, and evaluating information is still lacking. Thus it can be concluded that the information literacy skills of SMK students are not optimal.
