Pedagogy for Librarians

Most librarians are required to take classes on reference, collection development, and information organization in library school; courses on pedagogy, on the other hand, are usually optional, if they’re offered at all. This leads most librarians who end up with instruction duties to learn on the job. Activities and assessments can be learned on the fly fairly easily, but these often have little to no bearing on how much students actually absorb and recall weeks later because alone, they are usually insufficient to ensure deep learning. This chapter seeks to add the basics of pedagogy, a subject comprehensively covered in K-12 teacher preparation programs, to the librarian’s instructional repertoire

USE OF HIGHLIGHTING STRATEGIES IN READING COMPREHENSION AND EFFECTS ON ATTAINMENT IN SELECTED READING SKILLS

This study had two specific research objectives, two research questions and four specific research hypotheses. The study used quasi-experimental research designs. Data were collected using a standardized test. The study had a population of English Language students from secondary schools. The purposive sampling technique was used. The sample consisted of 40 students. The reliability of the instruments was established using Cronbach Alpha, which yielded a reliability coefficient of .70. Data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 24.00). Findings revealed that reading comprehension performances of students taught skimming and scanning in the highlighting strategies were significantly higher than those who were not taught using the highlighting strategies

Precursor models and early years science learning: a case study related to the water state changes

Children’s everyday activities enable them to learn some science even before entering preschool education and children bring these ideas with them when entering education settings. Some of these ideas, or else mental representations, may not be compatible with what is generally accepted by the scientific community. This paper presents the results of an empirical study, focusing on the construction of a precursor model that can support children’s scientific learning, in relation to the phenomenon of change of the state of water. The research included 91 children aged 5-6 which participated in a specifically designed teaching intervention. The intervention lasted approximately 55 minutes and was conducted at eight stages, during which children’s predictions and explanations for simple cases of change of the state of water were recorded. The analysis of children’s responses suggests that the specific teaching intervention can have a positive effect on children’s thinking in relation to the change of the state of water. A considerable number of pre-schoolers were able to take advantage of their involvement in the teaching intervention and construct a stable precursor model to support the development of their understanding, in relation to the water change of state phenomenon. It appears that precursor models can function in the minds of young children as intermediaries between mental representations of reality and scientific knowledge and prepare children’s thinking, by forming the basis for a cognitive path towards cognitive processing and the formation of more complex models. The proposed intervention is compatible with the model used in science education and it is proposed to be used in moderation and should not replace children’s learning through play

Enhancing Self-Directed Learning Readiness in Entrepreneurship Education

Worldwide entrepreneurship education (EE) is gaining popularity as an employability skill to prepare learners for a future of adaptability and lifelong learning. Its scholarship, however, is concerned that we have lost sight of what works, why, and how in EE. This is especially true for such novel learning objectives as preparation for lifelong learning. This quasi-experimental, mixed methods research sought answers to the question: of how EE pedagogy influences students’ self-directed learning readiness (SDLR). Statistically significant relations were found, especially between self-efficacy and SDLR. The impact of EE was found to be highly significant, which was explained by the effect of a stage-wise, mixed pedagogy approach to teaching/learning. Enhancement of self-efficacy and motivation for self-directed learning was found to benefit from a continuous cyclical teaching-learning process combining passive, participative and self-steered learning within and throughout each step of the learning process, in simulated and authentic learning contexts

Reprocessing interference : an artistic exploration of the visual material generated by interference

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 45-47).My body of work is concerned with the constructed promise of telecommunication - that is, the promise to connect people all over the world via telephone lines, computer networks and, most recently, satellite signals. The development of and access to networked systems has brought about this "utopian promise" (Mitchell 2005: 305), an ideal of instant connectivity that allows a user to be in contact with others through technological devices over vast distances. Connectivity supposedly enables users to develop and sustain relationships on the Internet. However, the question arises whether telecommunication technologies are living up to their promise. My title, Reprocessing Inte/ference: An artistic exploration of the visual material generated by inte/terence, refers to the concepts pertaining to this promise and also to the failure of the promise, focusing on the notions of distance and interference. It further encapsulates my working method, a process of degrading and filtering both my own and found footage

Childhood Learning vs. Adulthood Learning: The Theory of Pedagogy and Andragogy

From time in memorial, learning as a construct has been a significant and fundamental part of human growth, and development. But understanding and harmonizing the context of learning in childhood and adulthood can present a complex scenario. This paper reviewes three theories of childhood learning vs. adulthood learning and compare them to the theory of pedagogy and andragogy in education. It finds using reflective discourse and document analysis, that while there are distinction in pedagogy and andragogy, in the same vain; both concepts can also connect and overlap in learning circumstances and practical applications in education. This is important in understanding the modern child and adult learner

The Impact of a SMART Board on the Literacy Teaching and Learning in an Inclusion Third Grade Classroom

This thesis reviews the impact of a SMART Board on the literacy learning and teaching in a third grade inclusion classroom. The research answered the following questions: How does the use of a Smart Board impact the teaching and learning of literacy in a third grade inclusion classroom? How will my pedagogy need to change to adapt to the integration of the SMART Board technology? How will using interactive technology impact the way my students construct knowledge? How will using interactive technology influence my students\u27 motivation and engagement in learning? The SMART Board brought interactivity, creativity and fun into the classroom and created new social interactions between students while they constructed meaningful understanding of content
