Abstract: This study combines research from two separate fields: (1) information science and (2) educational theory and practice, to define an emerging concept called information literacy. The purpose of this study was to establish and assess a situated professional development model for affecting change in the way teachers implement information technology into the classroom, a change based on a paradigm shift from a behaviorist skills and drills methodology to a constructivist resource-based learning methodology. This model used a set of information literacy competencies for teachers that supports the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities (1996). The project included training pre-service teachers in the new methodology and equipping them with state-of-the-art laptop computers, data projectors and a collection of educational software so they could mentor these skills to their cooperating teacher partners during their 16-week internships. |
