Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies on information and media literacy focus on describing activities and frameworks individually, and most of the time, connect within the field of library science. However, other frameworks and practices can be used. This case study presents the application of Behrman’s Critical Literacy Practices to information and media literacy to engage students to think critically about information within their field of study. The purpose of this research is to model the information behavior of education students through the perspective of constructivist learning. The study used a qualitative method with six upper-level undergraduate education majors. Activities that comprise practices and theories in both education and library sciences are presented to form a continuous exposure to critical thinking. Factors that influenced how students perceived the validity of information came from personal, educational, and societal factors. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion about critical thinking skills in undergraduate students, presenting a model that describes how practices from other fields can be used and incorporated with information and media literacy.

声音与选择：批判性信息/媒体素养与贝尔曼的实践

摘要：关于信息和媒体素养的研究侧重于单独描述活动和框架，大多数情况下，这些活动和框架与图书馆学领域相联系。但是，也可以使用其他框架和做法。本案例研究介绍了贝尔曼的批判性扫盲实践在信息和媒体素养方面的应用，以吸引学生对其研究领域内的信息进行批判性思考。本研究的目的是通过建构主义学习的视角来模拟教育学生的信息行为。本研究采用了定性方法，对六个高层次本科教育专业进行了研究。活动包括教育和图书馆科学的实践和理论，以形成对批判性思维的持续接触。影响学生感知信息有效性的因素来自个人、教育和社会因素。这项研究为正在进行的关于本科生批判性思维技能的讨论做出了贡献，提出了一个模型，描述了如何使用其他领域的实践，并将其与信息和媒体素养相结合。

期刊介绍： The Reference Librarian aims to be a standard resource for everyone interested in the practice of reference work, from library and information science students to practicing reference librarians and full-time researchers. It enables readers to keep up with the changing face of reference, presenting new ideas for consideration. The Reference Librarian publishes articles about all aspects of the reference process, some research-based and some applied. Current trends and traditional questions are equally welcome. Many articles concern new electronic tools and resources, best practices in instruction and reference service, analysis of marketing of services, and effectiveness studies.
