本研究旨在調查偏遠地區與都會地區國中學生資訊素養現況，以及不同個人背景變項之國中學生與資訊素養是否存在差異情形，並將偏遠地區與都會地區之資訊素養進行比較。 本研究採用問卷調查法，研究對象選定一間雲林縣國中與台中市國中七、八和九年級普通班學生。研究結果發現，偏遠地區學生資訊素養因家中是否有電腦書刊雜誌而呈現顯著差異，此外，是否為偏遠地區國中學生其參加校外電腦課程、是否玩過電腦遊戲、家中是否有人可請教電腦呈現顯著差異；在整體資訊素養能力方面，偏遠地區的國中學生，在「發現問題的能力」、「尋求資訊的能力」、「檢索資訊的能力」、「使用資訊的能力」、「綜合資訊的能力」、「評估分享的能力」等資訊素養能力方面，皆低於都會地區，顯示城鄉間確實存在著資訊素養的差異。 The purpose of this study aimed to investigate information literacy status of junior high school students in urban and rural areas, and to investigate whether different demographic variables would show different information literacy. Moreover,this study also compared the information literacy in rural areas with that in urban areas. This study surveyed the seventh, eighth and ninth grade students in two junior high schools in Taichung and Yunlin respectively. The result showed that students’information literacy in the rural areas demonstrated a significant difference when the students had computer books and magazines at home , participated in off-campus computer courses, played computer games at home and had someone for advice about information technology.In addition, the overall information literacy capabilities of the junior high school students in the rural areas were lower than those in the urban areas, including ‘the ability to identify problems’, ‘the ability to seek information’,‘the ability to retrieve information’,‘the ability to use information’,‘the ability to comprehend information’and‘the ability to assess and share information’. It is evident that a gap existed between urban and rural areas in terms of information literacy.
