Abstract:

[Purpose/Significance] Information literacy (IL) training for farmers has become one of the main contents for farmers in the new era. However, the current implementation of rural revitalization still does not pay enough attention to farmers. At the same time, farmers' IL ability is an important embodiment of farmers' integration into the digital countryside, which can give a strong boost to the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for the rural revitalization strategy in the new era to make full use of multiple social subjects and improve farmers' IL. [Method/Process] This paper reviews the concept and definition of IL, and analyzes the research on farmers' IL in recent years. The results show that most of the current research on the cultivation of farmers' IL focuses on a specific topic and lacks holistic research. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically understand the cultivation process of farmers' IL, and guide the cultivation behavior of IL by the all-round cultivation concept. [Results/Conclusions] At present, although the local governments have initially built an IL training model of the new era, with schools and social organizations as participants in the model, farmers still lack information knowledge, information awareness, and IL skills. Several proposals are put forward here to address the above issue. First of all,it is necessary to strengthen the construction of IL education system and improve farmers' information knowledge. The government should give full play to the local government agencies in resource integration, schools and scientific research institutions in professional advantages, and social organizations in providing information services, so as to provide farmers with more systematic IL training. Second, efforts should be made to jointly build IL education space to raise farmers' information awareness: the government should build farmers' IL training base, the schools should promote the transformation of the education model, and social organizations continue to carry out IL training project. The three parties join hands to build a three-dimensional integrated IL education space of "material space, spiritual space and social space", and a new way of the cultivating farmers' information awareness. Finally, IL teachers should be trained to improve farmers' information literacy. The government will attract and retain information talent in rural areas through positive talent polices. Schools will play an educational role in developing farmers' information literacy skills.
