Guidelines for
the development of teaching units to enhance information literacy
Date: 8 March 2004
These
guidelines for the development of IL teaching units, with 2 model researches
about the themes “a class journey” and “preparing a specific work”, have
been drawn up within the project
Media partners Library and School: reading and information
literacy NRW.
Main contents
I. INTRODUCTION
These guidelines should help teachers and librarians develop together teaching
units and carry out them with their students.
The key issues are 2 model teaching units:
1.
Preparing, making a class journey and evaluating it
It addresses students of middle
schools. They prepare together a tour program and
some content issues in small groups: they use different print media provided by
the library, search on the Internet and consult experts.
Students present their results before or during the class journey. Afterwards their contributions are reviewed in the form of reports and documented.
2.
Preparing a specific work
It is propedeutic to the enhancement of scientific skills.
In the 11th or 12th class
students learn basics of the scientific work: on the basis of reports about
subjects freely chosen they can enhance their research skills, learn how to cite
scientifically, etc. and train themselves to draw up the chosen issues and
successfully present them.
Librarians and teachers should offer their own teaching designs for other
classes.
