Abstract: While technological changes in society and the workplace influence the need for an information literate citizenry with sophisticated abilities to analyze, adapt, and interact in an abstract computing milieu, reforms in teacher education have not been linked to these changes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether themes, interrelationships, or patterns of information-based attributes needed for students to achieve information literacy skills were emerging across selected teacher education programs and individual specialty studies. The study analyzed the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Standards and the responses of ten Institutional Reports selected for their diverse representation of teacher education models.
