Abstract EN
The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of using a program based on action research for developing EFL pre-master students' information literacy skills and self-reflective inquiry.
The study used the quasi- experimental research design (pre-post control group design).
Thirty EFL pre-master students enrolled in the special diploma at the Faculty of Education were randomly assigned to two intact groups: experimental and control.
The students in the experimental group only were instructed using a program based on action-research whereas their counterparts did not receive such training as they received regular instruction.
Tools of the study included a questionnaire of EFL teachers' perceptions of research skills, a test of research academic knowledge, a scale of information literacy skills and a scale of self-reflective inquiry.
Analysis of data obtained by students (using t-test and eta-squared formula) revealed that the students in the experimental group significantly surpassed their counterparts in the control group in the post-performance on the test of research academic knowledge, a scale of information literacy skills and a scale of self-reflective inquiry. Key words: Action-Research, Academic knowledge of research, Information-Literacy skills and Self-Reflective Inquiry
