Cultivating students' information ability and improving students' information literacy is the fundamental goal of information technology education. Information literacy is the foundation of lifelong learning. With a certain degree of information literacy, learners can acquire the content of learning, expand their own research, control their own learning more effectively, and make themselves have lifelong learning ability, competitiveness and innovation ability. Only by strengthening information literacy education can the function of education be brought into full play.

Cultivating students' information ability and improving students' information literacy is the fundamental goal of information technology education. Information ability is a basic information literacy, which is an important content of technical, operational and ability literacy. In addition to information ability, information literacy should also include knowledge and attitude, that is, knowledge and attitude about information, information society, participation in information process and information society, which is also the literacy that every information person must have. Information technology education is a subject education aimed at cultivating students' information ability and improving students' information literacy. The teaching objectives of information technology education should include the understanding of information science; Practical ability to use information flexibly; Understanding, attitude and participation in the information society. These three aspects not only standardize the content of information technology education, but also determine the methods that information technology education should adopt. According to the goal of information technology education, how to cultivate students' information literacy in information technology education?

First, cultivate students' interest in information technology.

Bruner, a famous American psychologist, said: "The best stimulus to learning is interest in learning materials." Confucius, an ancient educator in China, once said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." This shows the importance of learning interest. If students are not interested in learning information technology, it is impossible to cultivate information literacy. As a teacher, we should turn serious "talking about computers" and boring "learning computers" into lively "playing computers" and relaxed "using computers" to make the classroom atmosphere relaxed and interesting; You can also use students' interest in computer games to train and cultivate students' computer operation skills and learning methods. For example, we can use cards and gobang games to teach the use of the mouse; Use "beating mice" and "picking apples" to train fingering.

Second, to create a good campus information environment

A good information environment is very important for the cultivation and improvement of information literacy. At present, many primary and secondary schools have perfect campus LAN, which is connected with g0438034, and students can surf the Internet in the dormitory. The library is rich in books, and librarians are responsible for selecting, collecting, processing and storing information and providing services related to a certain subject or theme. Training teachers and students in information retrieval and network resources, giving lectures on new knowledge of network retrieval from time to time, publishing information, navigating information and exchanging information through the network, and carrying out information activities with different forms of reading clubs or societies to promote information exchange have formed a strong information atmosphere throughout the campus and laid a good' supporting environment' for the cultivation of information literacy.

Thirdly, teachers' educational ideas and their own information control ability are the premise of cultivating students' information literacy.

To cultivate and improve students' information literacy requires teachers to have higher information literacy and integrate information education into the teaching of various disciplines. As a traditional form of teaching organization, classroom teaching plays the role of "main channel" and "main position" in cultivating students' information literacy. The spirit and intention of information literacy are integrated into the requirements of curriculum and teaching, which runs through the whole teaching activities. Teachers' ability becomes the basic factor to determine the effectiveness of education and teaching. In order to improve their information literacy, teachers should take the initiative to participate in training, observation teaching, open classes and other activities inside and outside the school, listen to the opinions and guidance of other teachers and experts, and expand and enrich their teaching methods; Actively strive to participate in the exchange of teaching projects between peers inside and outside the school, and improve their information ability through this exchange.

Fourth, teach students the basic skills of using information technology in information technology education.

With the development of the times, especially in the information age, communicative competence includes not only reading, writing and oral expression, but also basic skills of people's life. In this network era where every second counts, if we can't use advanced communication equipment such as e-mail and fax machine, it will be abandoned by the new century and cultivate students' basic skills of survival in the information age. Information technology teachers should also urge students to master the methods of searching for the information they need, and effectively organize, sort out, utilize and disseminate the existing information. For example, teaching students to skillfully use various information collection tools, compilation tools, sending tools and storage tools. Can skillfully use reading, visiting, visiting, experiment, information retrieval, electronic audio-visual and other methods to obtain information. Good at using creative thinking, inspirational thinking and divergent thinking methods, through comparative analysis and correlation analysis, looking for information growth points, discovering and creating new information. Being good at using external information to improve learning methods, adjust learning plans and expand one's knowledge information base and learning method base can maximize the educational and social benefits of the information found and owned. The cultivation of information literacy should pay special attention to cultivating students' ability to solve practical problems by using information technology. In the process of solving problems, understanding, judging and evaluating information is more important than the operation of specific machines and the use of specific software. On the basis of communicative ability, reading ability, writing ability and expressive ability, learners' continuous development of sensitivity to information is the prerequisite for effectively completing learning tasks, learning to learn and mastering thinking skills.

Fifth, cultivate students' thinking ability in information technology education.

This is the core part of the three abilities of information literacy. As an information technology teacher, we should cultivate students' awareness of using information technology to obtain and use information. Let students seek answers to questions independently and strengthen the cultivation of students' thinking ability. In fact, only when students master the thinking skills can they think independently, ask questions and seek answers to them, instead of always relying on the help of teachers to complete their learning tasks. In our life, there are usually many solutions to one thing and many answers to one question. Information literacy education focuses on cultivating students' ability to put forward various solutions to a problem, rather than imprisoning students' thinking and developing students' divergent thinking.

In a word, information literacy is the basic literacy that every member of the information society must have. In school education, in order to cultivate students' information literacy, we must carefully define what students' information literacy should include, and take certain measures to cultivate them on this basis. Only by strengthening information literacy education can the function of education be brought into full play. At the same time, the cultivation of students' information literacy can not be completed in a short time, but requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources, and teachers need to have this information literacy first. With the rapid development of information technology, it is necessary to integrate information technology with other disciplines to cultivate students' information literacy, thus laying a forward direction for the formation of middle school students' information literacy. The road of information technology education needs us to explore in practice, and the formation of information literacy needs the joint efforts of students and teachers.
