Today's
emphasis on metrics and personalization make evidence-based instruction an
imperative. This book offers librarians concrete, empirically-based strategies
to connect with learners at all levels.
More than ever, librarians are required to possess pedagogical
expertise and called upon to design, implement, and assess robust
evidence-based reference and instructional practices that contribute to student
success. In order to achieve these goals, librarians must know how to teach
information literacy skills that go far beyond one particular library context,
in order to facilitate lifelong learning. In addition to the traditional
information expertise of the library professional, today's librarian must also
master evidence-based pedagogical practices that can help make learning stick.
Offering
plentiful examples of pedagogy in action, this book covers:
6 cognitive principles for
organizing information literacy instruction, with sample worksheets and
organization tools for instruction planning
how to establish rapport and
kindle learners' motivation
tactics for transcending
"cite 5 sources" and other uninspiring research assignments
educational evidence
debunking the mythical perception that because students are skilled at
computers and mobile technology, they already know how to do research
questions to keep in mind
for inspiring autonomous learning
the power of story, as
described by Joan Didion, Brene Brown's Ted Talk, and educational psychology
research
the science behind
information overload
a balanced framework for
evaluating specific educational technology tools.
Fusing
theory with practice, this handbook is a valuable resource to help every
librarian connect with learners more effectively.
