ABSTRACT

The objectives of this research are to develop information education framework and derive detailIT curriculums in University Liberal education, which is essential to effective learning all specialknowledge and a base skill in university education. In order to achieve these research objectives,first this study theoretically derives three categories of IT education area based on comprehensive review of the previous research including IT Fluency, Information Literacy and ComputationalThinking concepts, and explicates concrete items for each category. And then, with respect to eachof these items, we empirically investigate the degree of necessity measured by the gap between therequired level of knowledge and skills which student should have for effective studying of majorcurriculum and the present level of them which they really have. Field survey is employed for thedata collection: 350 questionnaires are distributed to the students, and 313 questionnaires arecollected in useful condition and are analyzed. The findings of this research shows that threedimensions of IT Liberal Education are empirically derived by factor analysis as following: (1)Foundational Concepts of IT, (2) Utilization Capabilities of IT, (3) Intellectual Capabilities of IT. And the results of this study can provide the theoretical basis for constructing the IT education. Also they can be used as a practical guideline in developing and promoting specific University ITeducation programs in Liberal Education.
