Dissertation Notes

 

  • Look at Beile disseration and consider the questions in this instrument
  • Need to find nice summary of Info Lit history...or do I? (Beile dissertation, Seamans dissertation)
  • take a look at claims made in intro and be sure that cited studies actually fall into the stated criticisms
  • look up Ryan (1984) about epistemological belief measure using quantitative measure
  • Do I need to account for instructor approach or instructor epistemological orientation? Do I try to measure information literacy components of the course?
  • What assessment measures do I use to measure information literacy? NILRC, SAILS, James Madison, Bay Area (See IL Assessment Page)
  • Beile dissertation has nice section on expert review of items (page 59)
  • Do a more thorough database search for terms
  • Complete thorough lit review of IL assessment measures
  • What number of students do I need?
  • When should I give the instruments? Do I want to get info about then students arrive at college or when they end first semester? Should I consider identifying where students are in Kuhlthau's model?
  • Need to do interviews to follow up on the surveys to get a good feeling about how the measures work.
  • Super and Hawkness? activation
  • america's connetive intiative
  • motivation for learning scales: Paul Pintrich, possible measure for motivation, univ. of michigan college of education (pay to get rights)
  • Maybe email Hofer questions

  • From Seamans' disseration(page 11): According to both Bruce (1997) and Behrens (1994), the term information literacy is generally first attributed to Zurkowski, writing in 1974: “People trained in the application of information resources to their work can be called information literates. They have learned techniques and skills for utilizing the wide range of information tools as well as primary sources in molding information solutions to their problems” (p. 6). He goes on to assert that, “while the population of the U.S. today is nearly 100% literate, only a small portion – perhaps one-sixth, could be characterized as information literates”(p. 7). He further states (the emphasis is his) that, “The top priority of the Commission National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) should be directed toward establishing a major national program to achieve universal information literacy by 1984” (p. 27)."
