A total of 218 valid questionnaires was received and the valid response rate was 93.4%.

The results indicated that there was a strong correlation between information literacy and attitudes towards e-Learning of primary school teachers’ willingness in Chiayi County, Taiwan. Index Terms—Information literacy, e-learning, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson's correlation. I. INTRODUCTION The application of information technology (IT) in social and human life has appeared in an explosive development in 21st Century. Information literacy (IL) has evolved as a strategy of knowledge management, which has become a factor of competitive advantage and the best communication channel between human being and information around it. IL is to integrate all these abilities and able to assist people in manipulating a wide variety of information. To adapt to the coming of the era of globalization and the promotion of potential competition of the student, we must focus on advances in knowledge economy to foster competitive capacity of students.

Research Motives In the beginning of e-era, how to master in demanded IL to be qualified for new challenge was focus of social concerns. IL no doubt is the important key [2]. Nowadays elementary and high school teachers would play multiple roles, not only the role of “knowledge transfer” but more important also of “knowledge navigator.” If elementary and high school teachers possess IL and can imply IT facilities in teaching activities or processes was one of our motives of this research. The changing environment is due to progress of Internet and IT. Recently Minister of Education (MOE), Taiwan has furthered the educational initiative in e-learning such as the implementation of e-learning platform. To understand what is the school teachers’ attitudes towards e-learning was the second motive of this research. The pedagogy will be entrenched to traditional teaching method without innovation if they don’t have IL. To understand the correlation of individual background, IL, and e-learning via an empirical study was the third motive of this research. B. Research Purpose The purposes of research are classified as follows based on the motives above: 1) Understanding the current states of teachers’ IL and attitudes towards e-learning. 2) Understanding if difference of teachers’ IL and attitudes towards e-learning exists due to individual background. 3) Understanding correlation between teachers’ IL and An Analysis of Information Literacy and Attitudes towards e-Learning of Elementary School Teachers York Min-Yu Sun, Rong Jou Yang, Hann-Jang Ho, and Yu-Fen Chang International Journal of Information and Education Technology, Vol. 8, No. 2, February 2018 139 doi: 10.18178/ijiet.2018.8.2.1023
