Programa de alfabetización informacional en inglés. Biblioteca escolar.

2. » School libraries are a doorway
for children and youth to learn
about the world.
» They are sites for students to
explore and develop their own
interests, and to foster a love of
reading, along with their inquiry
and research skills. And as the
digital world puts more and
more information at students’
finger-tips, the library can open
the door to learning beyond the
walls of the school.

3. » Information literacy is a set of skills which enable individuals
for life-long learning. This allows for an easier integration of
the individual in the so-called information society.
» Literacy is not simply knowing how to read and write a given
text but rather the application of this knowledge for specific
purposes in specific contexts.

5. » determine the extension of his information needs;
» access the required information with efficacy and efficiency;
» critically evaluate the information and its sources;
» correctly incorporate the information so as to accomplish a
specific goal;
» understand the economical, legal and social issues related to
information usage, and accessing and using information in an
ethical and legal fashion.

6. The guidelines about information literacy
assure that all students undergo a learning
process which can transfer along
programmatic contents, as well as into the
real life. These guidelines specify the
following:
» the student must build meaning from
information;
» the student must create quality products;
» the student must study autonomously;
» the student must participate effectively
as a member of a workgroup;
» the student must use information and
information technologies in a
responsible and ethical way.

7. » School libraries provide the foundations
for curricular education, and help to
develop a more profound knowledge since
they offer access to several relevant
resources.
» Some schools actively pursue project and
research-based learning. This approach
creates opportunities for skills-based
activities that enable pupils to learn and
develop their Information Literacy skills.
» One of the roles of a school librarian is to
promote and share good practice within
the school and to manage and develop a
balanced resource area.

9. » Specific Information Literacy models have
been developed to support the teaching of
Information Literacy in schools, but there is
no one dominant approach. The Big6 and
Marland model are examples of well-
known process models.

10. The Big6 is a process model of how people of all ages solve an
information problem. From practice and study, we found that
successful information problem-solving encompasses six stages
with two sub-stages under each:
1. Task Definition
1.1 Define the information problem
1.2 Identify information needed
2. Information Seeking Strategies
2.1 Determine all possible sources
2.2 Select the best sources
3. Location and Access
3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically)
3.2 Find information within sources

11. 4. Use of Information
4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch)
4.2 Extract relevant information
5. Synthesis
5.1 Organize from multiple sources
5.2 Present the information
6. Evaluation
6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness)
6.2 Judge the process (efficiency)

13. Questions Skills
1. What do I need to know?
2. Where can I go?
3. How do I get to the information?
4. Which resources should I use?
5. How do I use the resources?
6. Of what parts should I keep
record?
7. Do I have the information I need?
8. How will I present it?
9. What have I accomplished?
Formulate and analyze your needs.
Identify and evaluate probable
sources.
Identify and find specific resources.
Examine, select and reject specific
resources.
Question the resources.
Record and organize the information.
Interpretation, analysis, synthesis,
evaluation.
Presentation, communication.
Evaluation.

15. Information Literacy is an educational
imperative. Its ultimate goal is for the students
to develop the capability of both critically
evaluating the information they encounter and
of continuing to use the skills that they have
acquired to confidently handle the new
challenges that will confront them throughout
their lives.
