Research Assignment Design Kerri Carter – ext Diane VanderPol – ext Fall 2008

What do researchers in your field or students in your class need to know? What skills and knowledge do information literate people possess? Two Questions to Consider

ACRL’s Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education An information literate individual is able to: Determine the nature & extent of information needed Access the needed information effectively & efficiently Evaluate information and its sources critically & incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, & access and use information ethically and legally

Sample outcomes language Standard 1: Determines the nature and extent of the information needed. Performance Indicators: 1. Defines and articulates the need for information. Outcomes Include:  Confers with instructors and participates in class discussions, peer workgroups, and electronic discussions to identify a research topic, or other information need  Develops a thesis statement and formulates questions based on the information need  Explores general information sources to increase familiarity with the topic 2. Identifies a variety of types and formats of potential sources for information. Outcomes Include: Knows how information is formally and informally produced, organized, and disseminated Recognizes that knowledge can be organized into disciplines that influence the way information is accessed Identifies the value and differences of potential resources in a variety of formats (e.g., multimedia, database, website, data set, audio/visual, book) Identifies the purpose and audience of potential resources (e.g., popular vs. scholarly, current vs. historical)

Helping students develop information literacy skills Teaching faculty Research assignments provide opportunities to ask students to demonstrate and develop skills Inclusion of information literacy skills in the curriculum lends authority and subject relevance Grades & instructor enthusiasm motivate Librarians Can collaborate in the development of assignments that take best advantage of local resources Provide many opportunities for help and instruction for individuals and classes Subject librarians select and teach/ promote latest resources

Designing research assignments Be specific and realistic about your expectations Isolate parts of the process, stagger due dates Take advantage of library instruction and collaboration opportunities (the writing center too!) Discuss research concepts and strategies- intellectual property, peer review, topic selection Be sure the that the purpose and benefit of the assignment is obvious to students Emphasize analysis over answers. Encourage reflection on the process, use failure and frustration as an opportunity for feedback and as a teaching moment

What not to assign Complete an 8-10 page paper on a topic we discussed in class. Due at the last class meeting.

Sample assignments Create a reading packet- an anthology-type collection with an intro discussing relationships among the readings Read selected materials and rank them, with justifications, as more or less scholarly Write questions on a topic that demonstrate an understanding of the issues Prepare a resume for or write a letter as a person you have researched Examine letters to the editor for dubious statements & develop a well supported response
