Presentation Transcript

  1. “Today’s student lives and learns in a world that has been radically altered by the ready availability of vast stores of information in a variety of formats. The learning process and the information search process mirror each other: students actively seek to construct meaning from the sources they encounter and to create products that shape and communicate that meaning effectively. Developing expertise in accessing, evaluating and using information is in fact the authentic learning that modern education seeks to promote.” (NC Information Skills Curriculum Philosophy, 1999).

  2. Prescription for Research Myopia: Implementing a School-wide Research Model Michelle Mills & Tammy Young Media Specialists, Charles D. Owen High School Black Mountain, NC

  3. Living in an information society is NOT always easy … A weekday edition of the New York Times Number of Web Pages • 1995: 1.3 million • January 2000: more than 1 billion Rate at whichinformation doubles: • 1900: Every 1500 years • 1990: Every 3 years • 1998: Every 18 months • In 2010: Every 40 days

  4. OK, Why a research model? IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs, p. 20 “…used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, that requires information to solve a problem, make a decision, or complete a task.” “A systematic research model … provides an information problem-solving process, and a set of skills that provide a strategy for effectively and efficiently meeting information needs.” IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs, p. 20

  5. OK, Why a research model? To prepare students for the 21st century workforce To prepare students to become proficient problem solvers To integrate information and computer skills SCOS within other curriculum areas

  6. Research Backs This Up Lance, Wellborn & Hamilton-Pennell Todd and Kuhlthau “More LMC hours open = Higher student usage and consequently, higher test scores” “… a school librarian (with) a clearly defined role in information-centered pedagogy plays a critical role in facilitating student learning for building knowledge” “…more often students receive library/information literacy instruction … (with library staff involved), the higher the test scores.” “Test scores increase as school librarians teach cooperatively with teachers (2000 Pennsylvania study) IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs, p. 167-169 “Reading scores rise when librarians spend more time planning and teaching cooperatively with classroom teachers” (Michigan, 2003)
