RESULTS
The 21st century society makes great demands on its members because of rapidly development and ever-changing political, cultural, social, economical and technological situations. Consequently, the society expects its members to keep pace with these changing situations, and adapt their skills and expertise in all aspects of life. Many societies around the world strongly believe that it is the duty of higher education institutions to provide its youths with these skills and expertise.
Introduction
The present, an information-based, technology-driven society to transform serious concern information overload. So educators, the rapid changes in information and technology present several challenges. Information literacy skill has become one of the essential skills in order to judge what information is “essential” and what content information has to be included into their curriculum.
http://novellcounseling.org/overcoming-information-overload/
All these require educators to train their students to search for, access, retrieve, interpret, synthesize, organize, and communicate information. Beside that , to promote the “Scientific mind”, which is the expertise to proper evaluation of all that we know, it is as a dimension of human capacity that promote and facilitate the continual learning development.We interested in 5 features for a scientific mind are:1)inquiring,2)creativity,3)collaboration,4) rationality, 5)responsibility
To order this raises increasing societal concern for the quality of learning and teaching at higher education. New educational technologies become available, re-thinking conventional practices around teaching and learning is of paramount importance as resources gradually diminish and demand for access to better quality higher education dramatically increase
The term blended learning is relatively new in higher education. (Dricoll, 2002; Osguthorpe and Graham, 2003; Thorn, 2003; Bersin, J., 2004; Olapiriyakul and Scher, 2006; Bonk and Graham,
2006;Garrison and Vaughan, 2008), the most common position is that blended learning environments combines face-to-face instruction with technology-mediated instruction (Graham, 2006; Graham et
al.,2003). However blended learning does not have a pedagogy of its own, but it draws its strength from the three basic theoretical perspectives on learning: behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism.
Background
Thus, an urgent need to devise new ways of teaching and learning is critical if we are to prepare our students to live, work and prosper in the 21st century. As a result, different modern educational strategies such as the learning to promoting scientific mind, collaborative learning, Information literacy skill and project-based learning have emerged.
Subsequently,This study is around developing a model to tap the potential of new and emerging technology by blending it with the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning environment on Information Technology for learning.
1) to develop a blended learning model on Information Technology for Learning Course,
2) to study the developing of the students’ scientific mind and information literacy skill for the model implementation.
3) to study students’ opinion towards the developed model.

The experts agreed to the quality of Blended Learning model on Information Technology for Learning Course in very good level ( X=4.55, S.D.=0.54). The pilot study was found that the blended learning model had feasibility for the implementation.
2. A results of implementing the developed model
2.1. The average scores of the students’ scientific mind after learning through the developed model were significantly higher than students’ scientific mind before learning on 0.05 level of significance. As shown in table 2.
2.2. The average scores of the students’ Information Literacy Skill after learning through the developed model were significantly higher than before learning on .05 level of significance. As shown in table 3
3) the Students’ opinion about the blended learning process: students had opinion about the blended learning process that would appropriate in the high level and it would help them to greatly develop their scientific mind and self evaluation in Information literacy skill. It would help students to understand themselves, and making them aware of their strength, and weakness on their problem solver. It would help them to develop not only their knowledge in higher levels but also they could gain problem solving, and communication skills. Also, they are able to exchange their learning with their classmates as well.
Conclusion
In summary, this research supported the learning outcome for developing the student scientific mind and information literacy skills on using information technology for learning. It is also appropriate to be applied in learning management in other courses. Our findings emphasized that the instructors would implement it to analyze the learning content as well as prepare learning media. Studying the relationship between developments of information literacy skill, learning achievement, competency in information technology and communicationand thinking process could be a good direction for future research.
