The purpose of this thesis is to study the learning theory of Soft Knowledge and apply the findings in creating a Social Studies textbook, that will nurture information literacy to learners To do so, the researcher has conducted thorough studies on the ‘connectivism’ and ‘cognitive flexibility theory’, both of which are deeply related to ‘soft knowledge’. Afterwards, the researcher created a structure plan to create a Social Studies textbook based on the findings, and conclusively developed a textbook. The research was concluded as significant through the findings from the classes conducted to increase information literacy. Firstly, through classes taught with the Social Studies textbook based on ‘Soft knowledge’, learner abilities to ‘search for solutions’ (a subelement of information literacy) increased. Secondly, among the studied learners, it was observed that those with high levels of education were able to organize and interpret information in great detail, and make connections to create specific plans. Thirdly, it has increased abilities to make efficient executions to finish classwork. Through a comparative experiment done with another class assigned with the same classwork, it has been observed that while many learners in the comparative class gave up midway, all learners in the studied class finished the assignment. The thesis shows significance in that a textbook based on the theory was developed, and was used as material in an actual teaching/learning environment.
