Abstract
This study investigates the level of information literacy (IL) competency among undergraduate students at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo and its implication for academic writing learning outcomes, particularly in thesis writing. IL skills are fundamental in guiding students to locate, evaluate, and use information ethically and effectively, especially in composing research-based academic texts. This research employs a qualitative descriptive case study design involving questionnaire-based surveys and document analysis of plagiarism reports. The participants were 36 undergraduate students from four study programs and lecturers of academic writing courses. Results revealed varied levels of IL skills among students, with significant challenges in source evaluation and citation. Many students struggled to reduce similarity index below the institutional tolerance level, indicating a gap between IL knowledge and application. The study highlights the importance of integrating IL more robustly into academic curricula and suggests practical interventions to improve IL instruction and reduce plagiarism.
