FIT for Psychologists –
Subject-oriented Information Literacy Training
Target group:
Psychology and Pedagogy students (undergraduates)
Level:
basic and advanced
Time and effort estimated
to successfully complete it:
12 months
This e-learning-course
is an introduction to information literacy
for students of Psychology and Pedagogy.
In this online tutorial
the texts are completed with images and screen shots
didactically prepared, in order to clearly illustrate the contents.
The aim of this project is to teach Psychology and Pedagogy
students (undergraduates) the basic information competences. They should be
able to effectively use scientific information of this subject for an active and
self-directed learning through practical and concrete problems.
FIT provides through a web platform contents and skills, whose deepening
and supervision are carried out by tutors and mentors. It can be integrated
into the psychology and pedagogy courses, but can also be attended
independently, in the self-study.
FIT is based
on the close cooperation between the
University Library of Heidelberg and the
ZSW (Centre for Study Counselling and Continuing Education) - Key Competencies
Section.
The educational nucleus of PSYIK – Information Literacy for
Psychologists is the
Dynamic Model of
Information Literacy (DYMIK): through
DYMIK the phases and elements of information processes are organized and
managed.

overview of where and how psychological information and literature are located
and organized
· The
