Abstract

Aims: The objective of this research is to specify relation between moral maturity perceptions and information literacy skills of undergraduates.

Methodology: The research in a screening model was carried out with the participation of 508 senior undergraduates. Data in the research were collected with the scales of information literacy and moral maturity.

Results: It was specified that there was a positive and moderate relation at a level of sub-dimensions of both general and information literacy between moral maturity perceptions and information literacy skills of undergraduates. It was seen that as moral maturity levels of the undergraduates increase, their information literacy skills also increase concordantly. In this sense, it was inferred that as the undergraduates’ skills such as knowing the information need, knowing how to reach the information, using the information and the observance of moral and legal regulations in acquiring the information increase, they also mature morally.
