LIK – The information
literacy learning system
The LIK learning system is a conceptual basis
for co-operation between schools and libraries in methods and goals.
It is the core of the project-oriented approach, based on constructive
and subject-centred pedagogy and on the use of individual thematic
problems or interests as starting points to trigger processes of learning. So
the learning of competencies of information literacy can be integrated with
contents of other fields.
The participants of courses are not obliged to learn skills in information
literacy under traditional conditions of structured teaching. The teacher
assumes a passive role, restricting himself to assistance on demand. The
participants have to be active and are mainly responsible for their strategies
and their results. The most important work within this approach has to be done
in advance, or in the background, by developing conditions favourable for
learning and communicating with the participants on their way towards solving
their problems.
More information on this
approach can be found in Dannenberg, Detlev, Wann fangen Sie an?

The
LIK system is a system to
develop information literacy within the libraries for life-long
learning.
·
It assists trainers in
information literacy teaching with the support of information specialists.
·
Thanks to rich didactic offers
it gives libraries the possibility to become truly
“teaching libraries”.
·
It supports learners to
develop their information skills and competencies.
LIK plan
The LIK plan includes:
1. an
IL model -
The LIK information literacy model (IK Modell) – represented in form of a
tetrahedron – has 4 sides, that in the process of the scientific
work are not linearly ordered in a sequence, but are disjointed:
·
recognise and describe the need for information
·
find information
·
evaluate information,
information media and working ways
·
arrange and present information.
2. a
list of
learning objectives
3. a
co-operation model
(information literacy for life long learning through libraries)
4. 3

·
Orienting participants
·

5. 6 components
