Research is a verb: Exploring a new information literacy-embedded undergraduate research methods course

Abstract

This presentation introduces a potential solution to widespread and longstanding concerns about undergraduates’ research, writing, and critical thinking skills: a new activity-based, discipline-specific research methods course. The presenters explore course design, course-embedded information literacy learning, course effectiveness evaluation, faculty-librarian collaboration, and the role of reflection in teaching and learning. Cette communication presente une solution potentielle aux preoccupations repandues et de longue date concernant les habiletes de recherche, de redaction et d'analyse critique des etudiants universitaire de premier cycle : un nouveau cours de methodologie de recherche base sur des activites et adaptee a la discipline. La presentation portera sur la conception de cours, des activites pedagogiques favorisant la maitrise de l'information, l'evaluation de l'efficacite du cours, la collaboration entre professeurs et bibliothecaires et le role de la reflexion dans l'enseignement et l'apprentissage. ***Full paper in the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science ***
