A Performance-Based Test for Assessing Students’ Online Inquiry Competences in Schools

2018

In this paper, we introduce a performance-based test for measuring adolescents’ competences in online inquiry. The test covers four competence dimensions: (1) searching and selecting relevant sources, (2) identifying the main ideas presented in the sources, (3) evaluating the credibility of the sources, and (4) synthesizing information across the sources. We implement a technological solution called NEURONE to carry out this routine. The scoring of the test data is demonstrated by presenting preliminary results of a case study. Finally, we discuss the strengths and limitations of the test.

Library instruction – Not just for our users: Skills upgrading for librarians as a way of increasing self-confidence

2015

Published version of an article from the journal: LIBER Quarterly: Available from the publisher: http://liber.library.uu.nl/index.php/lq/article/view/10002/10598. Open Access This article examines how librarians can improve their skills through a systematic skills upgrading programme, and how this can help improve their confidence in their own expertise. Two identical questionnaires have been issued to the same group of librarians engaged in research support services. In the time period between the two surveys, a skills upgrading programme was carried out. The aim of the second survey is to examine if the librarians’ confidence has increased after the yearlong training programme. Even thoug…

How Good Is This Page? Benefits and Limits of Prompting on Adolescents’ Evaluation of Web Information Quality

2019

International audience; The present study examined adolescents' detection of features that affect the quality of Web information. In Experiment 1, participants (12-16 years old) rated the goodness/usefulness of four Web-like documents for a simulated study assignment. Each document came with an issue that potentially undermined its quality. Two documents had source-related issues (i.e., non-competent author, outdated) and two had content-related issues (i.e., topic mismatch, poor readability). Most students failed to notice the issues, including topic mismatch. The participants also produced inconsistent evaluations of topic-match, readability, author competence and currency. In Experiment …

Students evaluating Internet sources – From versatile evaluators to uncritical readers

2008

The Internet is a significant information resource for students due to the ease of access it allows to a vast amount of information. As the quality of the information on the Internet varies, it is important that students are able to evaluate such information critically. The aim of the study was to investigate how students evaluate Internet sources in an authentic learning task. Upper secondary school students ( n = 25) were asked to look for source material on the Internet in order to write an essay. They were asked to verbalize their thoughts during the material gathering process. Their verbalizations and actions on the Internet were recorded and analyzed. The five evaluation profiles eme…

Using eye-movement modelling examples to improve critical reading of multiple webpages on a conflicting topic

Task-oriented reading efficiency : interplay of general cognitive ability, task demands, strategies and reading fluency

2022

AbstractThe associations among readers’ cognitive skills (general cognitive ability, reading skills, and attentional functioning), task demands (easy versus difficult questions), and process measures (total fixation time on relevant and irrelevant paragraphs) was investigated to explain task-oriented reading accuracy and efficiency (number of scores in a given time unit). Structural equation modeling was applied to a large dataset collected with sixth-grade students, which included samples of dysfluent readers and those with attention difficulties. The results are in line with previous findings regarding the dominant role of general cognitive ability in the accuracy of task-oriented reading…

Kompetencje informacyjne i kompetencje medialne wobec procesów zarządzania uwagą masowej publiczności

2017

Informacja, uznawana za czynnik wiedzy wspomagający procesy podejmowania decyzji, towarzyszy tradycyjnie procesom zarządzania. Poszukiwanie informacji traktowane jest jako proces kognitywny i heurystyczny, inicjujący pozyskiwanie danych z otoczenia. Artykuł akcentuje znaczenie kompetencji informacyjnych, rozumianych jako umiejętności poszukiwania i selekcji informacji oraz kompetencji medialnych, polegających na zdolności do rozumienia, analizowania, oceny i tworzenia przekazów medialnych, w czasach zalewu przestrzeni komunikacyjnej przez fałszywe wiadomości i dane, dezinformację, półprawdy i propagandę. Kompetencje te rozważane są w kontekście procesów zarządzania uwagą masowego audytorium…
