A questionnaire of 57 items was developed using the indicators from the information literacy standards
adopted from that of Information Power: Building Partnership for Learning (American Association of
School Libraries, 1998) to study the students’ assessment of their own information literacy competencies
upon completion of their project: ability in the research process and the creation of the products
and/or artifacts; personal growth through the process; working with others; and achievement of standards
as described in the rubrics. A total of 70 projects were evaluated in this study. Self-assessment
questionnaires are the most popular suggestion for a diagnostic test, which is also the most common
method mentioned in relevant literature. The advantages of this method are the quick and easy nature
of the tasks for both respondents and distributors, which concur with the literature (Astin, 1993).
