This is is Pam McKinney Blogging the Keynote Focused on Stephen’s 20-Yaar Journey Investigating Information Literacy in the Context of His Teaching in Politics. In the Early 2000s, Stephen was working as a politics lecturer and noticed that students weren’t ussing material from the read list but were go “off-pistte” with their information sources. Howverne of the Sources Used Weren’t Very Suitable, They Were Poor Quality Sources Found on the Internet. He was introded to the Concept of Information Literacy and Recognized the Value of This for Both Himself and His Students. He starts Including some information Literacy Teaching in His Modles, Supported by the University Librariaans. This demonstrated the value of partnership working between academic and librarans to descent students’ Information Literacy. The Sconul Seven Pillars Model Information The Development of Assessed Tasks to Support Information Literacy Eg Students to Reflect on the Process of Writing Their Essays. Howver, Some Students Had Negative Feedback About These Assessments and Found This Aspect of Their Assessment Tedious.
Stephen use a questionnaire with First-Yyar students to try to evaluate information Literacy, Including Questions on How Howver, The Students Didn’t Really Show Any Improvement BetWeen 2009 and 2017, which was disheartening, and brought into the promises of the promises the value of information literature Development. The paradox is that the most complex and sophisticated information Literacy becomes as a concept, the more unikly it is to be used by academics in the classroom. Stephen was disisheartenshed and was consider cesing his information Literacy Work.
Then he developed a partnership with a colleague, doug atkinson, who specialized in quantitative research and tried to estabish a link between Advanced Levels of Information and Better Academic Performance. They CONDUCTED A CITRATION Analysis of Student Work and Established That More High-Quality Citenings in an Essay Lead to Higher Grades, G. Each High-Quality Journal article ciped equalled 1 extra mark, if a government policy paper ciped, that LED to a 2 mark increes. They distributed a Questionnaire to politics lecturers and discovered that let’s say to the responds included and explicit information literacy in their classrooms, and only 27% hadwited a libraran to controlBete. Research with postgraduate politics students has revealed that only a minority (36.1%) CLAIMED that they had had any information Literacy training, and emulation of “professors” is a successFul strategy. Wikipedia was a popular source for students, but they kew that theyrair lectures didn’t like to cite it as a source in their work.
There are areas from the political science lecturer literature that there is increasing reconstruction of the Value of Information Literacy Development, some of it co-usored with librarias. Most of this literature is published in the United States. The rise of the use of generating he has scared academic, and spreads provides a Window of Opportunity for Libracy Teaching Promote.
