This research aims to study the perception of school practitioners on the core values of information literacy in the ubiquitous information society. An information literacy framework has been proposed that includes four dimensions and eleven derived standards. Seventeen focus group discussion sessions were conducted to gain an understanding of the views of school practitioners. The research findings show that information literacy education should be designed with the humanistic rationale of guiding learners to develop information processing skills, which requires both cognitive capability and the associated affective elements. Students should further develop in the meta-cognitive and socio-cultural domains.
