| contents | <p>By obtaining two samples from first-year and fourth- year student cohorts from an engineering degree programme in<br>Sri Lanka, the study investigated whether the fourth-year cohort possesses more IL capability compared to the firstyear<br>cohort, which was developed over the degree programme when both cohorts were not exposed to IL instruction.<br>409 first-year and 109 fourth-year engineering undergraduates responded to the survey questionnaire. It was found<br>that some improvements in IL were visible over the degree programme. Still, mean values for possession of skills and<br>confidence in the use of each IL dimension seem insufficient. Irrespective of their level of study both cohorts showed<br>a willingness to undergo formal IL instruction if they were provided such. Students entering the university face<br>challenges in their information search, retrieval, and use. Therefore, there is a need for empirical analysis of entrylevel<br>university students and final-year passing out undergraduates on how they have acquired IL over a course of a<br>degree.</p> |
