An Evidence-Based Approach to Library Instruction: Flipping the Classroom to Enhance Student LearningMaddison, Tasha, Doi, Carolyn 25 March 2015 (has links)
The flipped teaching methodology is well documented within the education research literature, growing in popularity within university classrooms and making its way into library instruction. In light of current technological trends affecting higher education, libraries are challenged to explore new approaches to library instruction including strategies for inclusion of online classrooms, distributed learners, and interactive technologies. This presentation will include a summary of the research evidence on flipped teaching and its value for inclusion in library instruction. It will also look at the application of this evidence as applied to two case studies at the University of Saskatchewan Library and preliminary findings on outcomes from these cases.
This presentation is relevant to why librarians are conducting research by highlighting the benefits of using research evidence to inform the practice of library instruction, to create better instructional tools and to meet the learning needs of today’s students. This presentation also links to research being done by librarians, as it documents an in-progress research project on the efficacy of the flipped classroom for library instruction. / Slides presented at the C-EBLIP Fall Symposium in Saskatoon, SK, in October 2014

Shifting Landscape: Integrating Flipped Teaching Practices in Information Literacy InstructionMaddison, Tasha 16 April 2015 (has links)
ARCL STS IL Chat Presentation on March 20, 2015 at 3:00 PM EST. This chat session will begin with a short presentation about three separate applications of flipped teaching in the College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan. The Engineering Librarian used this pedagogy to deliver information literacy instruction to Civil Engineering students in their 2nd and 4th year of study in design heavy courses. The chat that follows is expected to generate thoughtful discussion about how flipped teaching could be applied in your own practice. Possible considerations include class size, location of class (computer lab availability), ability to collaborate with a faculty member, time, what you will cover in the tutorial and what lecture content will be. / If you wish to listen to the audio recording of this chat session, please use the following link: http://ala.adobeconnect.com/p5wdr3dahza/.

Breaking Ground: Improving Undergraduate Engineering Projects through Flipped Teaching of Literature Search TechniquesMaddison, Tasha, Beneteau, Donna, Sokoloski, Brandy 15 December 2014 (has links)
This case study describes the use of flipped teaching for information literacy instruction in a new course, Drill, Blast, and Excavate GeoE 498, within the mining option for geological engineering (GeoE) students. These students will enter the mining industry with less discipline-specific knowledge than a student that graduated with a degree in mining engineering, yet on-the-job training provided by the employer will fill in most of the technical gaps. Engineers in the workplace can connect to information sources online and do not need to rely solely on co-workers, short courses, and conferences for upgrading their knowledge. With this in mind, we developed a flipped teaching assignment to teach students how to effectively and efficiently access electronic information on topics faced by geological engineers in the field. The course included a research project that allowed the students to practice these information retrieval and evaluation techniques so as to better prepare them for the working world. Student feedback revealed a high level of engagement in the discovery of these research strategies and the instructor noted that these techniques were applied successfully in the students written reports and oral presentations.

Learn Where You LiveMaddison, Tasha 25 March 2015 (has links)
Distributed learning is becoming an increasingly common method of further education in post-secondary institutions and programs across Canada and internationally. Academic libraries are not immune to this trend, and many are
reviewing and revising their teaching methodology. All learners require information literacy instruction that is relevant, engaging, and embedded in curriculum; in a distributed learning environment, however, the design and delivery of that instruction may need to be adapted to respond to the challenges of instruction to distributed learners. Through a literature review of distributed learning models in academic libraries and consultation with faculty and librarians at the University of Saskatchewan, this research will assist in determining distributed learning models and instructional design best suited for the provision of information literacy instruction within this environment. Although this research focused on academic libraries, this session will be relevant to anyone who is interested in providing instruction outside of a classroom. / Slides from a presentation at the Saskatchewan Library Association annual conference in Saskatoon, SK, in May 2013.

Learn Where You Live: Delivering Information Literacy Instruction in a Distributed Learning EnvironmentMaddison, Tasha 16 July 2013 (has links)
Distributed learning is becoming an increasingly common method

Saskatchewan, this research will assist in determining distributed
learning models and instructional design best suited for the provision
of information literacy instruction within this environment,
with a specific focus on reaching out to rural communities with
emerging technological infrastructure. / This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning, 2013, Tasha Maddison; Journal of Library of Information Services in Distance Learning is available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/wlis20#.VJRmTwIYE.

The Effect of Information Literacy Instruction on Library Anxiety Among International StudentsBattle, Joel C. 05 1900 (has links)
This study explored what effect information literacy instruction (ILI) may have on both a generalized anxiety state and library anxiety specifically. The population studied was international students using resources in a community college. Library anxiety among international students begins with certain barriers that cause anxiety (i.e., language/communication barriers, adjusting to a new education/library system and general cultural adjustments). Library Anxiety is common among college students and is characterized by feelings of negative emotions including, ruminations, tension, fear and mental disorganization (Jiao & Onwuegbuzie, 1999a). This often occurs when a student contemplates conducting research in a library and is due to any number of perceived inabilities about using the library. In order for students to become successful in their information seeking behavior this anxiety needs to be reduced. The study used two groups of international students enrolled in the English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) program taking credit courses. Each student completed Bostick's Library Anxiety Scale (LAS) and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to assess anxiety level before and after treatment. Subjects were given a research assignment that required them to use library resources. Treatment: Group 1 (experimental group) attended several library instruction classes (the instruction used Kuhltau's information search process model). Group 2 (control group) was in the library working on assignment but did not receive any formal library instruction. After the treatment the researcher and ESOL program instructor(s) measured the level of anxiety between groups. ANCOVA was used to analyze Hypotheses 1 and 2, which compared pretest and posttest for each group. Research assignment grades were used to analyze Hypothesis 3 comparing outcomes among the two groups. The results of the analysis ascertained that ILI was associated with reducing state and library anxiety among international students when given an assignment using library resources.

The changing roles, responsibilities and skills of subject and learning support librarians in universities in the Southern African Customs Union Region: guidelines for the establishment of a new serviceChanetsa, Bernadette 02 1900 (has links)
Subject and learning support librarianship first began in African university libraries in the 1960s, but became more prevalent in the 1980s. Subject librarians, who were known by different titles in various universities, were responsible for one or more subjects, departments, schools or faculties, in terms of providing a subject-based information service, and performing subject-based collection development, user education, and liaison functions. They were organised according to specific models or structures which determined whether or not they performed only subject duties in the library. They formed a core part of the university library, and with each major technological advance, they had to reassess their roles, titles, functions, duties, educational qualifications and skills, so as to adapt to the new information environment. Unfortunately, the inception, development, re-assessment and adaptation of subject librarianship on the African continent did not follow a standard path, and no standards guidelines were compiled that could be utilised by new subject services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles, responsibilities and skills of subject librarians in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) region. The target population consisted of subject librarians in this region and a census method was used to determine participants. The quantitative research approach employing a survey design was used by the study. Data was collected using questionnaires, and results were clarified by interviews with a selection of library managers. Data was analysed using SPSS, MS-Excel and content analysis. The research found that the main models of subject librarianship in place were the dual and hybrid models. It determined the main titles that subject librarians were known by, and that their role, involved providing teaching, learning and research support to faculty members, staff, students and researchers. It also determined the main functions and related duties performed, and the main educational qualifications and skills held by, or required by subject librarians. Since the study found that no guidelines, specifically targeted at subject librarians in the region, were available, as one of its outcomes it provided guidelines, in the form of an appendix, for new subject services to adapt or adopt if they desired. / Information Science / D.
