With the rapid development of computer technology and network technology,informatization has become the development state of the global society,and information literacy has become the key abilities and basic skills that citizens should possess in the 21st century.As an important part of social citizens,it is of great significance to accelerate the modernization of education and build a powerful education country to improve the level of information literacy of young students.At present,the information literacy of students has become a hot research topic and has attracted more and more attention in the world.Many international organizations and individuals have developed information literacy assessment indicators,carried out information literacy research,and explored the factors of students' information literacy level from various aspects,so as to offer suggestions for improving students' information literacy level.However,according to the literature research,most of the studies only start from a single factor of students,families and teachers,but ignoring the impact of environmental factors such as teachers,families and personal factors on the information literacy of students,lack of overall and systematic.Therefore,this study,based on the social learning theory,explores the influence of teachers,families and students on students' information literacy level,so as to provide specific and targeted suggestions for improving students' information literacy level.First of all,the paper summarizes the definitions of information literacy and the factors affecting information literacy in the existing research by literature review,and six research hypotheses are put forward based on existing research.Secondly,this study selected students,parents and teachers of grade one,grade two of 28 classes from 7 schools in Y city,a western province of China,as research objects by means of questionnaire survey,to explore the influence of various factors on the information literacy level of middle school students.Then,descriptive statistical analysis,independent sample t test,analysis of variance(ANOVA)and correlation analysis were performed on the recovered data,and a hierarchical regression model was constructed to verify the above hypotheses.Finally,based on the results of data analysis,some targeted suggestions are put forward from the perspectives of teachers,parents and students to improve the information literacy level of middle school students.The research results show that in terms of the influence of teachers' background factors on the information literacy level of middle school students,it was found that the information literacy level of young teachers is higher than that of teachers of other ages;The higher the teacher's degree,the higher the information literacy level of middle school students;The professional title of teachers has no significant influence on the information literacy level of middle school students.In terms of the influence of teachers' internet self-efficacy on the information literacy level of middle school students,there is a significant negative correlation between teachers' internet self-efficacy and students' information literacy level.In terms of the influence of teachers' internet attitude on the information literacy level of middle school students,there is a significant positive correlation between teachers' internet attitude and students' information literacy level.In terms of the influence of family background factors on the information literacy level of middle school students,the information literacy level of urban students is significantly higher than that of rural students;the higher the average monthly income,the higher the middle school students themselves;The higher the level of information literacy;The information literacy level of middle school students from families with superior digital environment is significantly higher than that of families with poor digital environment.In terms of the impact of parental internet self-efficacy on the information literacy level of middle school students,parental internet self-efficacy and students' information literacy level showed a significant positive correlation.In terms of the influence of students' background factors on the information literacy level of middle school students,the time and frequency of students surfing the Internet every day are significantly correlated with the information literacy of middle school students.The scores of junior high school students in information literacy are significantly higher than those of high school students.In terms of the influence of parental internet attitude on the information literacy level of middle school students,the internet attitude of parents has a significant positive effect on the information literacy level of middle school students.Based on the results of this study,the following suggestions are put forward from seven aspects.Firstly,we should optimize the structure of teaching staff and enhance the manpower guarantee for information literacy education.Secondly,we should improve teachers'information technology skills and provide technical reserves for middle school students to learn information skills.Thirdly,schools should cultivate teachers' positive internet attitude,and provide the environment foundation for improving the information literacy level of middle school students.Fourthly,parents and schools should optimize the information environment and provide environmental support for improving the information literacy level of middle school students.Fifthly,parents should enhance the internet self-efficacy and set an example for the improvement of information literacy of middle school students.Also,conveying the correct concept of using information equipment and improving the efficiency of the use of information technology among middle school students are good way to improve students' information literacy.Finally,teachers should guide students to actively participate in information activities and promote the enthusiasm of middle school students' internet attitude.
