Information technology ZA Information resources (General) The case study discovers with certainty about information literacy competencies in carrying out research process among trainees of the Malaysian Teacher Education Institute within the five northern region campuses. The Institute has a mission through its dynamic teacher training programmes to produce 21st century world-class trained teachers competent in research skills. In doing so, it is highly important to see that these trainees have acquired a comprehensive understanding of information literacy in their research process. Yet, it is a pivotal fact indicated by recent researchers that most future teachers often enter teaching without the necessary information literacy skills and knowledge in research process. An Information Literacy Research Process Model (ILRPM) is developed to explain the trainees’ behaviour of information literacy seeking skills in accessing, evaluating and applying their needed information when conducting their research process.

The population is segregated into science and non-science from various teacher education content-area specializations. The study uses an in-depth triangulation analysis to investigate information literacy competency problems and issues faced by the trainee teachers in doing their research process. This research is designed as a qualitative exploratory, descriptive and explanatory survey method that uses mix instruments consisting of a questionnaires survey on study population; and two face-to-face interviews with document analysis of theses from the fourteen purposive samples. The three research instruments were mapped to the ILRPM that uses the Information Literacy Standards for Teacher Education (ILSTE) indicators by the Educational Behavioural Sciences Section (EBSS). The findings covers 785 study populations, who believed they can access information (32%), evaluate information (33%) and apply ethical usage of information (35%) through their questionnaire choices.
