INTRODUCTION
Significance of Study
In today's rapidly progressing society, the media and information have emerged as
powerful agents of change. In developed countries, the number of information-related
businesses and industries is quickly expanding. One must be able to think and believe
that the generation of information, organization of information, assessment of
information, and dissemination of information all have significant effects on people in
order for a society to be considered developed. Because there is such a large amount
of information being produced and disseminated, it is essential that everyone be able to
locate, organize, and evaluate information for their own instructional and personal use.
In a situation that more closely resembles real life, there is a requirement to cultivate
learners who are capable of independently conducting accurate searches and locating
information that is pertinent to their needs.
According to Koltay (2011), media literacy is of utmost significance in this day and age
because of the proliferation of digital technologies. Literacy in the media, information,
and digital technologies are the three most prevalent concepts that concentrate on key
issues regarding media messages.

Universities in the Arab Region do not have full governance, nor do they experience full
autonomy, nor do they have access to sustainable media and information resources.
Arab universities are strategically structured as rigid entities because they are
centralized institutions that are controlled by the governments through their ministries of
higher education. As a consequence of this, they have become highly bureaucratic
organizations and have lost the mobility and flexibility necessary for innovative and
creative thinking. They lost competitiveness against other universities overseas. In order
to decentralize the higher education system and move it closer to full autonomy and
governance, reforms are desperately needed. This would allow institutions of higher
education to act independently with regard to curricula, programs, admission policies,
tuition, and full freedom of thought, expression, and decision making. This would create
an environment conducive to inquiry and the pursuit of excellence in teaching, learning,
and research, as well as the dissemination of knowledge. Higher education in the Arab
Region has increased in the quantity of more traditional institutions, but not in quality
and relevance (Badran, 2018). (Badran, 2018).
Republic Act 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act, was signed into
law in the Philippines in 2013. This law mandates an additional two years of study for
students in their senior year of high school. With the introduction of K-12 in the
Philippines, the Department of Education has included Media and Information Literacy
(MIL) as a fundamental subject in the Senior High School curriculum.

Although books are already accessible, the content of these books focuses more on
media literacy than it does on information and media literacy. In addition, not all of the
essential components of information literacy were covered. MIL will undoubtedly be
realized if a particular person is capable of searching for reputable sources of media
and information, of producing and managing, in a methodical and organized manner,
critical evaluations of the sources, complete with appropriate citations, and of adhering
to standards and methods for ethically treating media and information (Yap, Labangon,
& Cajes, 2017).
In addition, Gatchalian (2018) stated that it is not too early to educate children at the
very young age (kindergarten and elementary) by teaching the concepts of technology
(computer and information science) for as long as they will be properly guided and
informed about its use and importance. This statement was made in agreement with the
Department of Education's decision to include MIL in the curriculum.
Gatchalian cited DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones, who had just recently reminded
everyone at the 2018 National Literacy Conference and Awards (NLCA) that children
need to learn not only how to read and write, but also how to be experts in their
knowledge of modern technology. Gatchalian cited Briones's remarks. As the Vice
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, Gatchalian encouraged everyone to
pay attention to this matter. He did so because he was convinced that our nation will
flourish in terms of economic growth by gaining more knowledge in ICT and when

children will be with us on this venture while they are still studying in The Philippine
Information Agency (PIA), led by the PIA Director-General Harold Clavite with
Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary M. Gatchalian They
mentioned that each of us plays an important role in addressing the proliferation of fake
news, and they encouraged us to instead spread the good news in order to inform
people that good news were being overshadowed by bad news, particularly in the
government, which focused more attent.
Significance of the study
The study was important because it was able to give useful information about how
student's media literacy and information literacy work together. The role of the library in
providing relevant Information for research and other academic purposes brought the
need for librarians, students, and teachers, to the forefront. With this information, an
action plan was made to help students learn more about media Literacy and Information
Literacy and improve the media skills. The library will used to help students learn more
about information literacy. In particular, the following people and groups were thought to
benefit directly from the results of this study:
Students: Any information from this study about how well they understand media and
information will be used to improve and make sure that students are media literate

 (043) 727-5712
To the teachers: The results of this study may encourage teachers to find ways to
improve their teaching methods and strategies so that their students learn how to use
media and information well.
Administrator: The findings would serve as basis to give full support whatever
enhancement program on students' media and information literacy skills; and
To the future researcher's, this study would give researcher's in the future the baseline
information they need to do more research. Other researcher may find they need to do
a similar more consistent study that focuses on more complex records and uses more
complicated research design.

Scope and Limitations
In this study, the students' media and literacy abilities were assessed. However, it was
solely restricted to MIL competences via the accurate assessment of students' literacy
levels in terms of usage, access, and evaluation of diverse media and information
sources. Also, it focused on the student demographics in terms of their gender,skills and
career paths.
