INFORMED LEARNING IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CLASSROOM: THE ROLE OF INFORMATION EXPERIENCES IN SHAPING OUTCOMES

Abstract

This research aimed to inform the design of effective information literacy lessons in higher education. Phenomenography, a research approach designed to study human experience, was used to explore the experiences of a teacher and undergraduate students using information to learn about language and gender issues. The findings show that the way learners use information influences content-focused learning outcomes, and reveal an instructional pattern for enabling students to use information while becoming aware of the topic they are investigating. Based on the findings, a design model is offered in which learning outcomes are realized through targeted information literacy activities.
