New faculty members after arrive with little experience in
teaching or planning for teaching. This book helps overcome that
challenge. Many if not most schools of library and information
science have many students seeking a second career. The information
concerning teaching adult learners will be especially helpful for
this age group. Different types of learning can be identified and
made clear by thinking systematically about outcomes with
strategies. Patterned after the matrix designed by Professor James
R. Davis in his book "Highly Effective StrategieS," this book
provides behavioral, cognitive, inquiry, mental models, group
dynamics, virtual reality, and holistic strategies. Each is
described and explanations are given for hiw it is most effective
for developing exercises to instruct, reinforce, and assess
specific types of learning. Each strategy also comes with its own
appropriate measures of success. Sample materials are included to
illustrate these adaptations of the Davis matrix, and materials
about specific activities and course outcomes are drawn from the
authors' ongoing curriculum audit.
This book provides a structured platform that serves as a model
for teaching and assessing student learning in applied LIS Courses.
Following Davis's premise that different types of learning can be
identified and made clear by thinking systematically about outcomes
with strategies, including behavioral, cognitive, inquiry, mental
models, group dynamics, virtual reality, and holistic. Each
strategy is deemed most effective in developing exercises to
instruct, reinforce, and assess specific types of learning. Each
strategy comes with its own appropriate measures of success.
With the ALA Committee on Accreditation Standards reflecting the
need for student learning outcomes, this book provides both the
introduction to this form of evaluation and provides examples of
courses using this method of assessment.
