Information Literacy Follow-Through: Enhancing Pre-service Teachers' Information Evaluation Skills Through Formative Assessment

Sara Seely et al. — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 10:56:43 PDT

An investigation into pre-service teachers' information evaluation skills at a large university suggests that formative assessment can improve student performance. Pre-service teachers were asked to apply information evaluation skills in the areas of currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy and purpose. The authors compared the pre-service teachers’ and researchers’ evaluations and used Perreault and Leigh’s Index of Reliability to analyze final projects from two semesters. When asked to evaluate the sources cited in a final project for an Education methods course, pre-service teachers who received formative feedback from librarians improved in most information evaluation areas. Formative assessment is explored as a tool for improving information literacy instruction.

Margie Ruppel et al. — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:39:32 PDT

Charged with updating the document in 2000, the ACRL Instruction Section (IS) Research and Scholarship Committee reviewed research articles formally published in the United States, and gathered input from national conferences to identify important research areas relevant to academic library instruction programs in the current environment. While many of the original issues still lacked substantial research, new themes also arose. Similarly, the scope of the document was expanded to include an emphasis on information literacy, reflecting the transition that our institutions and organizations are experiencing.
