THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study investigates the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the information literacy skills of Grade 10
students in social studies at Pantay Integrated High School. The theoretical framework is grounded in several
key concepts that collectively illuminate the interplay between AI and information literacy (Alshahrani, Wang
et al., 2021).
At its core the Information Literacy Theory emphasizes the skills required to identify, locate, evaluate, and
effectively use information. These competencies are crucial for students in Social Studies, where they must
critically assess diverse sources, gather historical data, and construct evidence-based arguments. Models like the
Big6 by Eisenberg and Berkowitz and the Information Literacy Competency Standards established by the
American Library Association (ALA) provide structured frameworks to guide students in developing these skills.
By focusing on these models, the theory ensures that students are equipped to navigate the vast and complex
information landscape effectively.
AI directly relates to Information Literacy Theory by enhancing the processes involved in managing information.
AI tools such as search engines, chatbots, and citation managers facilitate the identification and retrieval of
information while automating routine tasks like organizing data and verifying sources. For example, AI can
assist students in evaluating the credibility of historical documents or organizing complex datasets, streamlining
their research and analysis. This alignment between AI capabilities and the core tenets of Information Literacy
Theory illustrates how technology supports students in mastering essential academic skills.
Socio-Constructivist Learning Theory
The Socio-Constructivist Learning Theory, proposed by Vygotsky, emphasizes that learning is mediated
through tools and social interactions. This theory highlights that student gain knowledge through active
engagement, collaboration, and contextual learning. In Social Studies, this includes analyzing historical events,
www.rsisinternational.org
Page 1145
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN ENGINEERING,
MANAGEMENT & APPLIED SCIENCE (IJLTEMAS)
ISSN 2278-2540 | DOI: 10.51583/IJLTEMAS | Volume XV, Issue V, May 2026
discussing multiple perspectives, and synthesizing ideas with peers and educators. AI-powered platforms such
as digital assistants, collaborative learning tools, and discussion forums embody this mediation, making the
learning process more interactive and accessible.
AI supports the principles of this theory by fostering environments where students can actively engage with
learning resources and each other. For instance, AI systems offer real-time feedback, enabling students to refine
their arguments and analyses in collaborative settings. Additionally, these tools facilitate group projects by
providing shared access to resources, simulations, and discussion boards. This alignment demonstrates how AI
enhances the socio-constructivist approach by enabling meaningful interactions and promoting deeper
engagement with Social Studies content.
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Framework
The TPACK Framework underscores the integration of technology into education, asserting that effective
learning occurs when technological tools align with pedagogical strategies and relevant content. In Social
Studies, this means using technology to enhance understanding of historical, cultural, and socio-political contexts
while supporting critical thinking and analysis. AI tools, such as simulation platforms, content summarization
systems, and adaptive learning programs, exemplify this integration.
AI fits into the TPACK framework by enhancing the delivery of Social Studies content through tailored and
innovative approaches. For instance, AI-powered simulations can recreate historical events, allowing students
to explore different scenarios and outcomes. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems provide personalized
content based on student progress, ensuring that each learner receives targeted instruction. This synergy between
technology, pedagogy, and content exemplifies how AI can meaningfully enhance educational practices.
Cognitive Load Theory
The Cognitive Load Theory, developed by Sweller, focuses on the mental effort required to process
information. It posits that reducing unnecessary cognitive burdens allows students to concentrate on
understanding and analyzing essential content. In Social Studies, where students often encounter large volumes
of complex information, managing cognitive load is critical.
AI relates to this theory by streamlining information processing and reducing extraneous cognitive effort. For
example, AI tools can filter irrelevant data, organize complex datasets, and summarize lengthy texts, enabling
students to focus on evaluating credible sources and comprehending key content. By reducing cognitive
overload, AI tools promote deeper learning and critical thinking, both of which are essential in the context of
Social Studies education.
Self-Regulated Learning Theory
The Self-Regulated Learning Theory, proposed by Zimmerman, examines how students take control of their
own learning processes through planning, monitoring, and evaluation. This theory highlights the importance of
autonomy and self-awareness in achieving academic success. AI tools, such as learning analytics platforms and
personalized feedback systems, empower students to regulate their learning by providing actionable insights and
guidance.
AI supports self-regulated learning by enabling students to track their progress, set learning goals, and adjust
their strategies accordingly. For instance, AI-powered dashboards provide real-time analytics on performance,
helping students identify areas for improvement. In Social Studies, this might involve refining research
techniques, reevaluating sources, or revising arguments based on feedback. This alignment demonstrates how
AI fosters self-regulation and enhances students’ ability to manage their learning effectively.

JISC Digital Literacy Framework
The JISC Digital Literacy Framework connects the use of AI tools with the broader concept of digital literacy,
which encompasses the ability to evaluate, create, and communicate digital content. In Social Studies, digital
literacy is crucial for critically engaging with online resources, multimedia, and collaborative platforms. AI tools,
such as content generators and plagiarism checkers, enhance digital literacy by supporting students in their
evaluation and creation of content.
However, this framework also highlights the potential risks of over-reliance on AI, which may weaken students’
independent critical thinking skills. While AI streamlines processes like information retrieval and content
generation, students must also develop their evaluative capabilities to avoid blindly accepting AI-generated
outputs. By balancing the benefits and risks, the JISC Digital Literacy Framework underscores the importance
of using AI tools as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, critical thinking.
By integrating these theoretical perspectives, this study offers a comprehensive understanding of AI's influence
on the development of information literacy skills in students. The findings highlight the potential of AI to
enhance learning outcomes while emphasizing the need to cultivate critical thinking and evaluative skills to
ensure balanced and effective use of AI tools.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter provides an overview of previous research on knowledge sharing and networks. It introduces the
framework of the study that comprises the main focus of the research described in this thesis.
Foreign Literature
Based on “Conceptualizing AI literacy: An exploratory review” of Burgsteiner, Kandlhofer, & Steinbauer
(2016), learners should learn about the underlying AI concepts for their future careers and understand the ethical
concerns in order to use AI responsibly since in this current era, it is undeniably that AI has become widespread
across various sectors, including business, science, art, and education, aimed at enhancing user experiences and
boosting efficiency. The primary reason for that is it can be found in numerous aspects of daily life, such as
smart home devices, smartphones, and digital assistants like Google and Siri.
In “Responsible AI: requirements and challenges”. It mentioned that while most people recognize the presence
of AI services and devices, few are familiar with the underlying concepts and technologies or the potential ethical
concerns associated with AI. (Ghallab, 2019).
In the book “Where are the educators?” that published on 2019, the definition of AI has expanded to include its
ability to perform cognitive tasks, especially in learning and problem-solving, through innovative technologies
like machine learning, natural language processing, and neural networks (Zawacki-Richter, Marín, Bond, &
Gouverneur, 2019).
