Abstract

Abstract The new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (ACRL, 2016) highlights the ability to synthesize ideas from multiple sources of information as one of the key knowledge practices. There is little generalizable empirical research based on cognitive science principles to guide information literacy instruction practice. The present study examined the effectiveness of elaborative interrogation instructional strategy on integration and transformation of ideas from multiple sources of information. 86 participants took part in the study via Amazon Mechanical Turk platform. The experiment involved reading five texts on the topic of climate change and responding to embedded elaborative interrogation prompts (treatment groups only), and writing a synthesis paragraph on the topic. Two one-way ANCOVAs were employed to test the hypotheses which indicated that elaborative interrogation prompts did not significantly improve performance on transformation and integration measures. This study contributes to the growing body of literature addressing information literacy instruction based on the new Framework and provides a promising long-term cross-disciplinary research partnership in terms of linking evidencebased guidance for instruction based on cognitive science principles to information literacy knowledge practices in the new Framework.
精细化讯问对多信息来源思想综合的影响
新的高等教育信息素养框架(ACRL, 2016)强调了从多个信息来源综合思想的能力,这是关键的知识实践之一。基于认知科学原理指导信息素养教学实践的实证研究很少。本研究考察了精细化讯问教学策略在整合和转化来自多个信息来源的思想方面的有效性。86名参与者通过亚马逊土耳其机械平台参与了这项研究。实验包括阅读五篇关于气候变化主题的文章,对嵌入的详细提问提示做出回应(仅限实验组),并就该主题写一段综合文章。采用两个单向ANCOVAs来检验假设,结果表明,精心设计的询问提示并没有显著提高转换和整合措施的绩效。本研究为基于新框架的信息素养教学文献的增长做出了贡献,并提供了一个有前途的长期跨学科研究伙伴关系,将基于认知科学原则的教学循证指导与新框架中的信息素养知识实践联系起来。
