Architecture in Ancient Rome because his father, who is an Architect, has a lot of books about it in
their family library. Does Gino’s choice for a research topic characterize what an independent
learner who is information literate should be? Choose the correct justification for the yes and no
answers.

information literate is first and foremost characterized by intense curiosity.

knows something about, he should also choose topics that he is also personally interested in.

For their 12th grade research papers for Marketing Communication, two groups of student
researchers both efficiently arrived at the same comprehensive and factual conclusion about
“Jeepney driver top preferences on coffee brands that nightshift drivers take during the weekends.”
Although both groups approached the information gathering using different methods - the first
group conducted a survey using questionnaires for a focus group while the second group conducted
person-to-person interviews with a focus group - their findings are the same. Which vital concept
of Information Literacy and subsequent justification is succinctly reflected in the scenario just
described?
A. Authority Is Constructed and Contextual - Jeepney drivers are the top authorities in the country
on choosing strong coffee because they have to stay up until all hours of the night driving because
it is their job, and it is a job that requires full mental awareness because it has many occupational
hazards that involve road safety.
B. Information Creation as a Process - The process of surveying in order to gather information is
more efficient and effective than person-to-person interviews.
C. Information has Value - the student researchers can sell the information to coffee manufacturers.
D. Research as Inquiry - both groups want to know which coffee brand to purchase for when they
take an overnight road trip as a class.
E. Searching as Strategic Exploration - the students discovered that the findings/results yielded
from the inquiry were almost the same (with only a very minute deviation), proving that even if
Information Literacy may posit the exploration of different strategies for gathering information, it
may also mean that the same conclusion may be arrived at and that there is not always just “one
perfect way” to conduct a research inquiry.
Items 71 to 75
NOTE: Shade the SAME letter that corresponds to your choice from numbers 71 to 75
(Example: if your answer is E, shade E from numbers 71 to 75)
