A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Information literacy may be defined as the ability to identify a research problem, decide the kinds of information needed to tackle it, find the information efficiently, evaluate the information, and apply it to the problem at hand. Teaching Research Processes suggests a novel way in which information literacy can come within the remit of teaching faculty, supported by librarians, and reconceived as ‘research processes’. The aim is to transform education from what some see as a primarily one-way knowledge communication practice, to an interactive practice involving the core research tasks of subject disciplines.

This title is structured into nine chapters, covering: Defining research processes; Research ability inadequacies in higher education; Research processes and faculty understanding; Current initiatives in research processes; The role of disciplinary thinking in research processes; Research processes in the classroom; Tentative case studies in disciplinary research process instruction; Research processes transforming education; and Resourcing the enterprise. The book concludes by encouraging the reader to implement the teaching of research processes.

• Engages the domain of teaching faculty rather than librarians only
• Analyzes the reasons why the research processes concept represents a gap in academia
• Focuses on research ability as a process that can be taught within disciplines

Revue de presse :

"Badke provides a compelling argument that students do not know how to do research and that faculty are not addressing the problem. He shows that librarians and faculty can work together to teach the process of research to students. Until professors see the need for teaching research processes, students will continue to fumble their way through them. Teaching Research Processes could be a helpful resource for a faculty retreat or a conversation starter."--Teaching Theology & Religion, January 2014 This book should prove valuable to anyone trying to design a relational approach to IL and integrate it within curricula., Journal of Information Literacy
