Designs for Active Learning: A Sourcebook of Classroom Strategies for Information Education Gail Gradowski, Loanne Snavely, and Paula Dempsey, editors A total of 54 designs for successful active learning strategies for library instruction in the classroom, divided into five sections, Basic Library Instruction, Searching Indexes and Online Catalogs, Search Strategies for the Research Process, Evaluation of Library Resources, and Discipline-Oriented Instruction. Also included is a computer disk with the forms, handouts and teaching aids which can be replicated for use in the classroom and also used as guides for designing activities that are appropriate to a local setting. Each includes a description of the activity or strategy, the context in which it is used, handouts and other classroom materials, and classroom time required, plus the name and institutional address of the person who developed the model. These models, which have proven successful in the BI classroom, the computer lab, and other instructional settings, will be useful for any librarian involved in instruction from the high school to the college and research level. |
