Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among information literacy, cognitive presence, and training outcomes in a blended STEAM elementary teacher training. For this study, we had collected the data of information literacy, cognitive presence, and training outcomes(learning satisfaction, academic achievement) during and after the training session. The data from 70 teachers who responded to all questionnaires and submitted the final project were analyzed. The results showed that information literacy predicted training outcomes(learning satisfaction, academic achievement) significantly, and cognitive presence mediated the relationship between information literacy and training outcomes(academic achievement, learning satisfaction). The findings suggested that information literacy and cognitive presence were critical factors for enhancing training outcomes in the blended STEAM elementary teacher training. Furthermore, the guidelines and strategies which could improve the effectiveness of a blended STEAM elementary teacher training program were discussed.
