AB - The purpose of this study is to design an outcome-based curriculum model for academic information literacy education to support the improvement of academic performance among international students enrolled in Korean universities. Although the number of international students has steadily increased, difficulties encountered in the process of academic work have been identified as a major factor contributing to student dropout. Nevertheless, information literacy instruction provided by university libraries is often short-term and skills-oriented, which limits its capacity to systematically support the entire academic process of international students.
Accordingly, this study conducted a literature review to examine the characteristics of international students’ information literacy and the nature of information literacy instruction offered by academic libraries. It further analyzed information literacy curricula proposed as regular credit-bearing courses and, based on this review, developed a 15-week curriculum model grounded in outcome-based education theory and the principles of backward design. The proposed model follows a three-stage process: identifying desired learning outcomes, determining acceptable evidence, and planning learning experiences.
This study is meaningful in that it reconceptualizes information literacy education for international students not as fragmented, skills-based instruction but as a systematic curriculum at the level of a regular university course. Furthermore, by applying outcome-based education and backward design to information literacy instruction, it presents a concrete curriculum model that offers both theoretical and practical implications.
