- Development and Validation of an Information Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale for Medical Students Ann De Meulemeester Heidi Buysse Renaat Peleman Medical Students Self Efficacy Information Literacy Student Attitudes Curriculum Development Medical School Faculty Lifelong Learning Library Instruction Medical Education Foreign Countries Test Validity The aim of this research is to develop and validate a scale for the evaluation of medical students' information literacy self-efficacy beliefs, as this plays a crucial role in the development of lifelong learning objectives. Curriculum developers and medical educators need to have a good understanding of information literacy in order to decide when specific support and training should be integrated in the curricula. The use of a trustworthy, user-friendly tool in a large population able to detect different aspects of students' information literacy self-efficacy beliefs could help to evaluate an entire curriculum. A 5-factor model was developed and validated within a 6-year medical curriculum (n=1252). Internal consistency of the subscales was high ([alpha]: 0.845-0.930). In conclusion, the Information Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale for Medicine (ILSES-M) could be an added value for evaluating medical students' information literacy self-efficacy beliefs. Furthermore, it could form the basis for curriculum development as well as a guideline for critical curriculum reflection.
