Information literacy skill acquisition is a form of learning that is influenced by cognitive, emotional, and social processes. This research studied how two emotional constructs (emotional intelligence and dispositional affect) and two cognitive constructs (motivation and coping skills) interacted with students’ information literacy scores.

Correlation and regression analyses revealed that emotional intelligence and motivation significantly predicted students’ information literacy scores. Instruction librarians may consider incorporating greater awareness of the emotional and cognitive aspects of information literacy skill acquisition in their instructional content and delivery.

Son interesantes las propuestas que se nos dan, únicamente veo el problema que esta la mayoría en ingles y por tanto algunos y a los más pequeños en este caso se les dificultaría, por otro lado si se manejara con algún traductor serán herramientas útiles.
