Information literacy and information technology (IT) skills have become increasingly important in today's
knowledge society. Many studies have shown that students from primary school to postgraduate lack crucial
information literacy and IT skills, hence there is a need for an effective pedagogical approach that will develop
these skills. This study investigated the effect of combining a collaborative teaching approach with inquiry
project-based learning (PjBL) on the development of primary students' information literacy and IT skills.
Students in a Hong Kong primary school completed two inquiry-based group projects. A collaborative
teaching approach involving three teachers in different subject areas (general studies, Chinese, and IT) and
the school librarian was adopted in guiding students through the two projects. Results indicate that this
program had a positive impact of on the development of different dimensions of the students' information
literacy and IT skills.
