Association between information literacy test scores, writing scores, and final grades
The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were computed to examine the association between information literacy skills scores, writing assignment scores, and final course scores. The results indicated that information literacy scores were positively and strongly correlated with students' writing scores (n=344, r=0.153, p=0.004). In addition, the information literacy scores were positively related to students' final course scores (n = 345, r = 0.112, p = 0.037). The findings suggested that those who had higher information literacy scores tended to do better both in writing and their overall performance in a class.
