Abstract

In the present knowledge and information society, every citizen can enjoy benefits of various advanced technologies such as information and communication technology(ICT) and smart technology. Nowadays everybody has to have some level of information literacy and application ability in order to enjoy benefits from various advanced technologies. In additions, knowledge and practice will about information and communication ethics are also required for all. Currently we need some kind of standards to evaluate and model everybody's information literacy and application capability. In this sense, information culture index has been developed to check information literacy and application capability of every citizen for various aspects of daily life. Information culture index consists of three standards, that is, application, awareness, and norm, respectively. Application standard indicates how information contents and skills are generalized for all. In other words, it is concerned with how every citizen can understand information literacy and use information skills in his or her daily life. Awareness standard is concerned with how well everyone can respect and trust others in the current information culture community. Norm standard is concerned with how everyone can use information communication services according to his or her desirable sense of information and communication ethics. The purpose of this paper is to analyze correlation between academic background and three standards of information culture index, that is, application, awareness, and norm. For this purpose, we use 2-year national survey works for information culture. After thorough statistical analysis, we can conclude that, awareness and norm standards do not show a meaningful correlation with academic background while application standard shows a meaningful correlation with academic background, It means that, the higher academic background one has, the higher application standard one can achieve. We expect that our correlation analysis results can be helpful to spread of information education and information culture in the future.

현대지식정보화사회에서 현대인들은 정보통신기술과 스마트기술 등 다양한 최신기술의 혜택을 누릴 수 있다. 다양한 최신기술의 혜택을 누리기 위해서 일정한 수준의 정보소양과 활용능력을 가져야 한다. 또한, 정보통신윤리에 대한 이해와 실천의지도 모두에게 필요하다. 한편 정보 소양과 활용능력을 측정하고 모형화하기 위해서는 일정한 표준이 필요하다. 이러한 점에서 정보문화지수는 정보소양과 활용능력을 측정하기 위해서 개발되었다. 정보문화지수는 3가지의 하위지표 즉 활용, 인식 및 규범으로 구성된다. 먼저 활용지표는 일상생활에서 정보화 내용과 기술이 어떻게 보편화되었는가에 관한 것이며, 인식지표는 정보문화공동체에서 어떻게 다른 사람을 존중하고 신뢰할 수 있는 가에 관한 것이다. 한편, 규범지표는 바람직한 정보통신윤리 의식에 따라 어떻게 정보통신서비스를 이용할 줄 아는 가에 관한 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 정보문화지수의 3가지 하위지표 즉 활용, 인식 및 규범과 학력과의 상관관계를 구하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 국가차원에서 조사한 정보문화 연구결과를 기초로 하였다. 통계분석결과 인식과 규범은 학력과 유의미한 상관관계를 보이지 않은 반면 활용은 학력과 유의미한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 즉 학력이 높을수록 활용수준도 높아짐을 보였다. 본 연구는 향후 정보교육과 정보문화 확산에 있어서 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.
