- W2144757935 abstract "The focus of this research is to assess the level of information literacy (IL) skills required for thetransition-to-university experience across the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This research further seeks toshed light on the IL levels of incoming first-year university students and describe their perceptions of theirIL skills. The research population consisted of first-year students from three private universities in the UAE:G1 from Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST), G2 from Al Ain University of Science andTechnology (AAU), and G3 from Al Hosn University (AHU). The three groups were recruited fromstudents enrolled in first year general education classes. A total of 90 students were asked to take an ILpre-test to assess the level of IL skills they possessed upon entering university. Because the authors arecurrently teaching at AAU, G2 was trained as part of their first-year research skills course at AAU, whilethe other two groups G1 and G3 did not receive IL training. At the end of the semester, the authors usedpost-testing to determine if IL training helped improve IL skills of the trained participants. The post-testwas given to two groups, including G1, which did not receive any training, and G2, the only trained group.Pre-test results identified a gap between the expectations and existing skills vital for secondary anduniversity-level education in all three groups. The post-test evaluation of skills showed statisticallysignificant increases in all IL assessed competencies. The need for customized curriculum to address the ILdeficits revealed by new students is evident." @default.
