This research investigated the influence of information literacy on the creative skills of medical students through the mediation of lifelong learning. A cross-sectional survey was conducted for data collection among medical students, recruited through a stratified convenient sampling procedure, of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The questionnaire was personally administered by visiting each college with written permission. A total of 473 survey responses were collected and analysed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results revealed that the information literacy of medical students had a direct and indirect but positive influence on their creative skills. Lifelong learning not had a direct but positive effect on creative skills but also mediated the relationship between information literacy and creative skills. The empirical evidence for how information literacy influences creative skills through the mediated role of lifelong learning may inform policy and practice for information literacy instructions. These results may help academicians and information specialists to initiate a credited or integrated course on information literacy in the curriculum of medical students not only in Pakistan but also in other developing countries. This research would be a worthwhile contribution to the existing research on information literacy as the mediated role of lifelong learning between information literacy and creative skills has never been examined so far.

Special needs are of paramount importance in international equitable education. The focus on students with special needs has become the basis of current special education and education reform. The world is currently undergoing a pivotal phase of digital transformation, with educational digitalization gradually developing. However, only a few studies have focused on the effect of educational digitalization on the creativity of students with special needs, and most of them have ignored its internal mechanism. This study therefore aims to explore the manner in which and the circumstances under which educational digitalization affects the creativity of students with special needs. Building upon information theory, this study proposes a mediated moderating framework to examine the effects of educational digitalization on the creativity of students with special needs, considering the mediating role of studying crafting and the moderating effect of creative self-efficacy. A survey methodology was employed to collect empirical data on the interrelationships among educational digitalization, study crafting, creative self-efficacy, and the creativity of students with special needs. The results demonstrated a significant positive relationship between educational digitalization and the creativity of students with special needs through study crafting. Furthermore, creative self-efficacy was found to play a moderating role in this process. The findings provide educators and policymakers with practical guidance on how to optimize the implementation of digital technologies in educational environments in order to promote education equity.

PurposeThe significance of digital literacy in online social capital accumulation and surviving the contemporary society is widely recognised. Despite that the current generation is regarded as “digital natives”, their levels and nature of digital literacy vary. To generate educational insights, this study investigates the type(s) of digital literacy which are mostly related to the online social capital accumulation, and how one’s socio-economic background affects the connection between digital literacy and online social capital.Design/methodology/approachA total of 1,747 participants aged 13–30 were invited to take part in a quantitative study. Spearman's rank correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and mediation analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between participants' demographic background, engagement in the online platforms, digital literacy and online social capital.FindingsThe results showed that the creative dimension of digital literacy was mostly significantly predictive of online social capital accumulation. Also, education significantly affected the relationship between the creative dimension of digital literacy and online social capital more than demographic background.Originality/valueResults suggest that education helps enhance digital literacy, offsetting the influence of socio-demographic background. The author examines the implications of how to implement training programmes in youth settings to enhance students' digital literacy and benefit those who are marginalised.
