Abstract

Twelve pairs of eleventh and twelfth grade anatomy and physiology students enrolled in a Midwest school participated in this study. The purpose of the study was to determine whether integrating information literacy instruction into a high school science class improved students' ability to select credible information sources. The instruments used to collect data included a preassessment and a sub-score for research accuracy from a research project produced by the students. The data from this research study suggested that integrating information literacy instruction resulted in an increase in student's ability to select credible information sources.
