Acronym LOIS

Abstract This project is about how late teenagers locate, access and assess online information on different topics and in different scenarios. Information search is a core life activity. Today’s media-rich society is a highly complex information environment, and Digital Information Literacy (DIL) is central for full and aware citizenship. Despite the continuous increase in effectiveness and ease-of-use of search engines and AI, we still need information literacy skills. This is also reflected in HarmoS-compatible school program, as well as by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). This project brings together digital media literacy studies and information sciences in a task-driven study to observe and analyse actual web search practices of adolescents through the collection of web search logs. Web logs will be data-mined in order to identify web search patterns, and relate them to specific control variables and search performance self-assessment. The project provides innovation under two respects: content and methods.
