Self-learning of Information Literacy Competencies in Higher Education: The Perspective of Social Sciences Students | Pinto | College & Research Libraries

Self-learning of Information Literacy Competencies in Higher Education: The Perspective of Social Sciences Students | Pinto | College & Research Libraries | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Preference for autonomous versus directed learning for the acquisition of information competencies (ICs) was analyzed among undergraduate social science students according to gender, degree program, belief in importance, and self-efficacy. Data were gathered using the IL-HUMASS (Information Literacy Humanities Social Sciences) online survey from students at five public Spanish universities enrolled in audiovisual communication, education, information science, pedagogy, journalism, psychology, social work, and tourism undergraduate programs during the 2013–2014 academic year. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square tests, as well as discriminant analysis, were performed. The results revealed a higher preference for the directed learning style in the four IL competency categories: searching, evaluation, processing, and communication-dissemination. Audiovisual communication, education, and journalism students showed a predilection for autonomous learning, whereas information science and psychology students preferred directed learning. Higher scores in belief in importance correlated with a greater preference for autonomous learning. In contrast, higher levels of self-efficacy were associated with a greater preference for directed learning.

Ten Engaging Digital Education Sites For Any Social Studies Classroom

Ten Engaging Digital Education Sites For Any Social Studies Classroom | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

  I took some time to look over my past posts and decided I needed to provide Social Studies Teachers with some great resources for their classroom.  Rather than get into any one specific Social Studies area, I thought best to find some resources that might work in just about any Social Studies Classroom. First, to ensure you do not miss a valuable post or other resources covering PBL, Digital Curriculum, Web 2.0, STEM, 21st century learning, and technology integration, please sign up for 21centuryedtech by email or RSS. As always, I invite you to follow me on twitter (@mjgormans). Please give this post a retweet and pass it on. Have a great week – Michael Gorman (21centuryedtech)

A Comprehensive List of Educational Web Resources for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

A Comprehensive List of Educational Web Resources for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

The web is teeming with all kinds of content and as a teacher with a busy time schedule you probably find it hard to go online and start sifting through this tsunami of information to find relevant digital resources to use with your students.  It is both energy and time consuming task and this is why I deemed it necessary to compile as much comprehensive a list as possible to make it handy for teachers to access web resources related to the content area they teach. I have gone through my archive and extracted all the websites I have reviewed in the past and featured them here under different categories.
